It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gary Dack, age 56. A devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, Gary is survived by wife Cherrilyn Kocia-Dack, children Connor and Taylor Kocia-Dack, Amanda Kocia; grandchildren Grace, Caolynn and Nathaniel Kocia- O'Connor; mother Irene Dack, brothers Douglas (Jancie), James (Beverley), his close friends at Sibley, as well as numerous extended family members. Gary was predeceased by his father, Roy Dack. He was a dear friend to many, near and far. An avid lover of the outdoors, Gary loved going on his father's and children's weekends to Sibley with his sons and friends. He also looked forward to going to the cottage with his grandchildren, and linking up with his extended family. Gary worked at Canada Post for over 35 years and was a proud member of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Your memory will live in our hearts forever. The family will share details on a Celebration of Life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Gary.
A great guy, who started as a letter carrier in January of '82 during one incredibly cold winter. RIP Gary.

Best Friends since we were 14, in each others wedding parties, camping together with the kids every summer, Superbowl parties every February, and numerous Backyard BBQ FEASTS. I miss my friend dearly! Sibley won't be the same without your quick wit, bad jokes, and cribbage dominance. I am so very proud of you Gary. Your dedication to being a good Father, Husband, and friend to so many all while facing many life challenges. I know you will be there as we face the next chapters in our lives, good and bad. Farewell for now my Friend!
