GAVIN MM1BXF – FUNERAL DETAILS (GB2RS Extract)
“……….. May we remind listeners that the funeral of Gavin, MM1BXF Silent Key, shall take on Monday the 6th of February at 10.30am at Clydebank Crematorium, Mountblow Road, Clydebank, G81 4SL. Gavin passed away tragically and very suddenly on Monday the 19th of December. Gavin was known to many in the RSGB and was one of the West of Scotland Amateur Radio Society’s young and enthusiastic Members and a committee member for GMDX. He was a keen electronics enthusiast, designing and building his own equipment, and was renowned for his in-depth knowledge of all things radio. In recent months Gavin was spending time in and out of hospital receiving treatment. He will be greatly missed. We send our condolences and thoughts to his wife Bex, and to all his family at this very sad time ……………………”
