Happy memories of your time in Leeds, and thinking of Christina, and all of Glynn's extended family at this very sad and difficult time. All our love, prayers and condolences. God Bless you all.

Our condolences to Christina and Glynn’s family. So many fond memories he will be truly missed. R.I.P. Willie Dave & Linda Tanswell
We were kids when we met you, the big brother we never had. Full of fun and a little bit crazy. Talented to the max, you could pick up any instrument and make it sound so beautiful. My sweetest memory is of the night you met a busker in an underground station in Sydney and borrowed his guitar, he played the flute alongside you, and it was the most exquisite thing I had ever heard. Your love of music inspired mine, from Bob Dylan to Steely Dan, Bread, James Taylor and Carole King, these artists always bring you to mind and with them the fun memories of our misspent youth. Our kids all growing up together. Sadly we lost you a long time ago. I know you are now with others who love you too, Rosy, Ola, Peter, Reg.... and I know our Mum would have been shoving everyone else out of the way to greet you when you arrived, she was always mad about you, as were we all. Fly free Glynn. Love always, Sandra
My dear friend Christina I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your hubby. Even though I never met Glynn I felt I knew him from our many conversations over the years,some sober some not!

Christine and all your family, I am truly sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to all of you at this very sad time. Glynn was a wonderful man with a great big heart and a big smile to match his sense of humour. I will always cherish the time I had with you in Leeds. And fondly remember the time you were trying to teach us the Hakka in my living room. God bless. Love. Carmel and Chris.
Glynn you were a big part of my life from such a young age. Always kind, generous with your time and loved for your genuinely good heart. Your presence in our day to day lives has been missed for a long time now but In my memories you will always remain young and happy and vibrant. You leave a wonderful legacy in Ricky, Jaime and Sam and your grandchildren who I wish you could have had more time with. I hope you have found Charlie and you are both enjoying the beach at Marakopa. Rest easy now. All my love Yana

Sorry for the loss of our dear brother-in-law Glynn. Glynn was during his time in England a great family member who is loved by us all. He was great with our children and always fun to be around and helped all of us at some stage.
