We think fondly of the entire Schreider family, ranging from Gary's time as a Golden Gael, through your hospitality to the Queen's football team after one of their games in Ottawa and the visits to Invermere to share time with us at Susanne's home at that time. He was a gentleman and a tremendous friend to all of our family.

We are thinking about all of you at this point and share your sorrow.

To Gary’s Family and Friends

Sorry to hear the bad news, it pains me to hear we lost a fellow son of Belleville, Queen’s University and the Ottawa Rough Rider’s. I knew of Gary and his accomplishments and many years latter I followed his foot steps. He was an inspirational figure that I looked up to his efforts made the path to my success a easier because the trail was already broken.

Thank you Gary for all that you have done.

Pat, I'm so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. You and Gary go way back with my parents Jim and Mary Lou Conroy, good old Riders days. I have fond childhood memories of our families together there in Ottawa. I'm glad I got to see you in the doctors office that one April day in 08 when my dad and I walked into the waiting room and saw you and Gary sitting there, what a surprise. I know Dad enjoyed visiting with you and Gary. It was good for Dad to see you both. You and your family are in my thoughts

To the Schreider Family

Your father was a kind, gentle un-assuming man. He along with your mother did a great job of passing on their values to all of you. I will never forget the first time I met your dad in 1976 after a Rough Rider game, he was sitting in your family room with some of his friends. I remember how impressed I was, meeting an X Ottawa Rough Rider, but more impressed of how nice he was in welcoming me into your home.

Sorry for your loss
