“Carol and Jim Allison would like to express our grateful thanks to all Gordon’s friends and colleagues who have been such a great support to us during the last few weeks. We have been greatly encouraged by all the wonderful cards, letters, emails and comments on blogs, posts etc.
We have also been moved by the depth of feeling for Gordon which has been expressed by so many of his long standing friends. But we also had a smile at some of the comments about Gordon’s unique style.
Gordon’s Dad and brothers, Stuart and David also appreciated greatly the chance to meet so many of his friends and colleagues at the Ferry Inn. The atmosphere was genuinely a celebration and just as if Gordon was there as guest of honour.
It was also good that the whole family had a chance to meet those who made the long journey up to Glasgow for the funeral.
Once again, thank you for all your support – it has been truly appreciated.”
