Not only were you my Uncle but I was lucky to have you as my Godfather.
Dad always wanted to see where his sister Jan, you and the girls had emigrated to. In 1993 Mum, Dad and I made the trip out to New Zealand. After a coach trip around the North Island and South Island we spent a lovely week with Gail, Bruce, Lucy and Aaron. You drove down and picked us up and then we had 3 weeks in Napier. Fond memories of days out with you, Vicki and Deanna. You took us to visit Debbie and remember when you were about to drive off and mum realised she had forgotten to hand in the room key.
You made several trips back to Chichester. I was so pleased that in 1995 when Steve and I got married in Donnington you were at the wedding.
Even though we were thousands of miles apart we kept in touch with Christmas cards, photos and emails.
Love to Vicki, Debbie, Gail and their families.
Rest in peace Uncle Gordon.
Love from Sarah, Steve, Mark and Ella and mum (Jean Burchell). xxxxx
