Garry William EDWARDS

Sharon and family, news of Gary's death just floored me and I regret not being able to attend his service. Gary and I worked together at CMP, but after that became friends, I have enjoyed many cuppas at your house and always delighted in hearing about Gary's latest project...I never knew what that might be because he could do anything! You must all be in absolute shock. Pleaae know that my thoughts are with you. All the best at this time when words come-up very short. Mark Siemelink

Dear Sharon, my sincerest condolences to you and your family for the loss of Garry. Although I didn't work closely with Garry often I did enjoy those times we did. He was always well respected both as a cop and a family man and his loss will be felt by all. As sad as his loss is I can imagine him now catching up with Colin and Simon and those who have gone before over a wee beer or two. Rest in peace Garry.

Dear Sharon, Jarred and family, I feel very privileged to have met Garry during a walk in the forest less than a week ago and I saw the same great person that I had met over 40 years ago. To have renewed that friendship and now to no longer have it because of the tragic events that followed is difficult to think of and comprehend. Garry will leave you all with many wonderful memories as we recounted our ones during that short encounter. I will miss the opportunity that presented itself...

Gary was a great colleague of mine and it was a privilege to work with each other.

Hello Sharon and family Shona & I send our deepest sympathy with the sudden news of Garry's passing. Our thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time. Garry was a respected and valued member of my team with NZ Police, CVIU. We had and shared many great times together. Please accept our apologies as we cannot attend Garry's funeral from here in Paraparaumu. Regards Max Newman

We are really going to miss you Garry, all your stories, your explanations on how you repaired broken things , the laughs, our camping days together, family gatherings (Birthdays and Xmas), Dean has lost a good mate and we have lost a great Brother-In-Law & Uncle. RIP xx
