GARY BLAKE Obituary

GARY EVAN BLAKE Died peacefully after a sudden illness on Saturday, April 5, 2014. Gary was born on August 5, 1934 in Toronto, Ontario, the second of 5 children born to Oscar and Flora Blake. He enlisted in the Canadian Air Force at age 17 and was stationed in France when he met the love of his life Anna. They were married in 1956 and shortly after he left the military to start a new life in North Bay, where he began a long and successful career with IBM. Gary and Anna had a wonderful life full of adventure and travelled the world together. Gary will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Anna, his children Michael (Beth) and Sandra (Julian), siblings Pearl, Glenn (Dianne), Lynda (Peter), Gail and his grandchildren Christopher, Sarah, Rebecca and Kaitlin. A private memorial service will be held by the family at a later date. Donations to the Rouge Valley Hospital Foundation in memory of Gary would be appreciated.

Gary was my manager when I first moved to the IBM Laboratory. We travelled to Europe and Japan together on business. He was a Prince of a guy and I really enjoyed his sense of humour. I am so sorry he is no longer with us.

I am very sorry to hear that news. Gary always showed a vital, positive and good-humoured energy, qualities we don't see every day. A grievous loss to your family.
