Professor Gaskin, what can I say. He was my children's doctor for around 6 years. They loved him, my husband and I had so much respect for him. Such a gentleman in everything he did. The best bed side manner for such a highly qualified doctor. He helped with the diagnosis of my 2 children with a very rare 1:1million genetic disorder. I will not forget the day you called me on my home number and said your goodbyes to me and my husband after you retired. Such a great loss to the medical field. God bless you doctor and may you rest in peace. And to the family please know that Kevin was loved and respect by many.

Dear Christine
I remember Kevin in his last year of high school - he was so determined to get into medical school, he studied the whole time to the point of no Saturday night parties for the whole year. Now, that is determination. And it has obviously paid off. May his goodness and dedication live on in you and his family. Clare O'Hagan, now in the south coast, NSW.
