Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of waiting on him at Circle K, in South Shores. I called him Sunshine. I was shocked to hear of his passing. He was one of a kind. Prayers for comfort

So sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I wan't aware until two days ago and didn't know of the arrangements. Gary was one of my favorite and toughest football players on the MHS team. I want to think that we became friends as well after he graduated.

So sad to hear about Pork. He was always such a nice guy. Always a smile on his face and willing to help anybody in need. He will be missed.

Joe wanted to get up to see Pork. He had a photo to share. Our family still shares a great memory when Pork was Santa on the NS train. As Pork distributed candy canes, he asked our grandson if he liked them and with the yes reply, Pork said "well have a couple more." He had a big heart and certainly will be missed. And, we will never forget that he prevented our son from a risky situation. Our prayers and sympathy to all of you.

Very sad that Gary has left this world. He was kind, warm and a friend to everyone. I always looked forward to seeing him and Kim at our Class Reunions. Much love and steadfast healing to his family who has endured so much loss in recent years. I will always remember Gary´s beautiful heart.
