Gareth Davies Memorial Fund

Postby Thunderboy » Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:24 pm

Guys as you may know Gareth could not get life insurance being an instructor and flying as much as he did. He left 2 young children behind and it is our wish to set up a trust account for them for when they older.

We will be setting up an account and probably organize an annual breakfast, selling memorial cloth badges etc to keep funds coming into this account.

Account details will be posted here hopefully on Monday

No details of the trust account yet !!??

I saw Trevor yesterday morning and he mentioned that he'd been at the airport to drop his other son Wayne who has gone back home to Cape Town. Now that the family are dispersing back to their respective homes, this is when Trevor, Sue and Lee are going to grapple with the reality of trying to get back on track but with a void in their lives left by Gareth. Now more than ever the Crosswinds folks should give them a call every now and then in support.

Regards,
Charles.

The account had been set up, awaiting a number from Stanvic

There will be a process as we can only deposit amounts of R500 or more into it. Lower amounts we will group and put in once there is R500. However will hopefully have details today from Leon and Rob
