JG was one of the best people I´ve ever met and had the privilege to work with. He radiated positivity and joy in everything he did. I will forever cherish the memories we shared - the hikes, the songs, and our deep conversations about birds, nature, and motorcycles. His spirit will always stay with me, and he will be truly missed.

"It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness" JG's motto everyday.

Just a fellow classmate from St Paul's Grammar School. I always called him Gerald, and he sat behind me in one of those desks, lined up in rows. He was always ready with a joke or a goofy remark. May he rest in peace.
