Gavin passed away at the Hanover & District Hospital on Thursday, November 5, 2026 in his 84th year.

He was the beloved husband of Ruth Greenfield (nee Robertson). He was a loving brother to siblings Jim, Robert, Anna, Andrew, Brian and Josephine Lauchlan who lived in Scotland. He enjoyed many good times with both sister in laws and brother in laws in Canada; namely Betty Bowie Casson, Laurie Savioli/Robertson, Gordon Robertson and Peter Casson. His aunt Anna helped him with the transition from life in Scotland to life in Canada. Moira, Leslie, Peggy and Archie were his cousins who lived in Canada. Gavin had several nieces and nephews in both Scotland and the United States: Gavin, Lynda, John, Kenneth, Bobby, Michael, Tracy, David, Kirstie, Sharon and Fiona. He also had nieces and nephews in Canada: David and Andrew Bowie and Taylor, Erin and Andrew Robertson. 

Gavin spent many enjoyable hours with his good friend Andy Kerr, talking soccer and the "state of everything". Gavin's passion in life was soccer. As a young man, he played in many leagues. He was a great supporter of both Ayr United and Glasgow Celtic. 

Gavin was born in Coylton, Scotland (near Ayr) to Margaret and Edward Greenfield. He trained as a glazier in Scotland; later worked at Crown Cork and Seal and the Mississauga Transit. He retired to his cottage on the Saugeen River and spent many happy times there with family and friends. He enjoyed many yearly trips to Florida and vacations to such places as Newfoundland, New Orleans and Ireland. Recently Gavin lived in a long-term care facility in Hanover where he received great care. 

A private Celebration of Life Dinner will occur at a later date.
