Reacting today to the sudden death of Mgr David Gemmell, Sir Tom Farmer released the following statement:"I was shocked to hear of the death this morning of Mgr David Gemmell. I have know David since he became a priest in Edinburgh in 1978 and watched him grow and develop in the priesthood from a young curate to one of the most senior priests in the Archdiocese and the Administrator of St. Mary's Cathedral.
David was a great priest who loved his chosen role in life, he was always close to and involved in the lives of his immediate family and he cared greatly for all those parishioners he came to know in the many parishes he served feelings which were widely reciprocated. I am pleased I had the opportunity to know him and I mourn his loss."
