Jo-Ann, Kary, Jason,
The news of Gary's passing was quite a shock to all. We may not have been a very close family but the times we were together, I have fond memories of Gary that I will always remember. We are glad he is not suffering any longer. We hope each day will get easier for all of you. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Will miss you Gary.

My sister Jo-Ann, Kary-Ann and Jason:

Our sympathy to you all....

This is to let you know that I never forget that he took me to fishing maybe less 20 times when I was little. That is why I respect and remember him always. Yes we pray for him and you all.
