I am greatly saddened to hear of Gam Gurung's death after battling cancer.

He was a great ambassador for the Nepalese community, and a lovely man who always had a smile and a kind word.

He consciously and determinedly reached out to all.

Rightly, he was extremely popular and will be widely mourned and missed.
