Super Puma crash victim Gary McCrossan's funeral in Inverness Hundreds have gathered to pay their respects to an oil worker who died in a North Sea helicopter crash last month. Gary McCrossan's family and friends held a celebration of his life at the John Fraser and Son funeral home in Inverness on Friday afternoon. A message from the 59-year-old's daughter, Freya, described him as the "best dad in the world" during the service, while his son Niki stated during the service that he walked in his father's "honour." Mr McCrossan was one of the four who died when the Super Puma helicopter ditched into the sea off Shetland on August 23. More than 300 mourners turned out for the humanist ceremony on Friday, where some of Mr McCrossan's favourite music was played including Eva Cassidy's version of Danny Boy, which brought the proceedings to a close. The family then joined for a private burial service in the city's Torvean Cemetery. Mr McCrossan's daughter Freya's message read: "You were the best dad in the world. You were always there when I needed you. A fountain of knowledge, a great joker and my best friend. Close family friend Lorraine McDonald told the service that Mr McCrossan's partner Fiona revealed he had recently told her he was content with his life. Donations at the funeral were collected for the RNLI, whose crews played a major role in the response to the helicopter crash.
