• Notes

  In July 1998 Gavin, Titch and Antony moved to England for a safer and more secure future. Back to the Eales's Roots arriving in England with 5 suitacses, £800. In April 2006, Gav had a very big gap in his life fulfilled. He was reunited with Clinton and Morgan after Tracy his second wife ran away with the two babies. Gav's life had become complete and he was extremely content with how things were going. Getting to know Clinton and Morgan was Gav's aim and one can say his last goal to achieve in his life. His two children spent weekends with Gavin and Titch and they all started to find out about each others trials and tribulations. It wasn't easy for any of them, but they are all very grateful that Gavin had the opportunity of seeing his children after so many years. Gavin received the next greatest bit of news from his eldest son Roger and his wife Merch, they were having a baby, Gavin's first Grandchild. Just after her birth in January 2007 Gavin took ill and after being so strong and brave throughout it all finally lost his battle with a Brain Tumar, peacefully passing on, on the 6th of May 2007 and has taken to the skies on his Honda Goldwing. (A dream that Gavin was saving for, so he could take Titch touring around the country side) Ride the Stars Gav...
