GARY JOHN HINCHCLIFFE

HINCHCLIFFE, GARY JOHN Passed away peacefully with his family by his side, on Friday, February 4, 2022, in his 80th year. Gary was a beloved husband to Susan for over 56 years. He was the dear father of David and his wife Jennifer and a devoted "Poppy" to his girls, Tyler and Avery. Gary was the elder brother to Denise and Bob. Gary spent his entire working career with the TD Bank, retiring after 37 years to enjoy a new chapter in his life. Gary was well-known in his Swansea neighbourhood, coaching hockey for 25 years at Rennie Park. He was a very active lifetime member of the Windermere United Church, taking on positions of Sunday School Superintendent and Church Treasurer. Gary was an avid outdoorsman and model train enthusiast. Poppy spent his retirement driving around the neighbourhood, on call for popsicle runs for his granddaughters and their friends. During his retirement, he could be counted on to drop everything and have tea parties, read books, and later play cards with Tyler and Avery. A special thank you to Dr. Peter Derkach and the wonderful staff at West Park Long Term Care, for the excellent care Gary received while a patient there.
