I know Garry since I was 14 years old we met in high school and I was best friends with his wife, Flo. I was just telling my friend Susan who had just recently met Flo, what a Wonderful Husband she had in Garry, he was one of the nicest person you could ever meet. So we know he is an Angel in Heaven. All My Love, Joyce

Gary was my first boss at 7-11. Never had one better. He was also a mentor, a role model for us guys just starting out in the work world. I hope Flo and the kids will accept my condolences.

I first met Flo when I graduated grammar school & we became best friends & then in high school I met Garry & I have to say he was such a nice young man & remained that way his whole life. Fortunately Flo & Garry found each other & built a beautiful life together. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. All My Love & Prayers to Flo & Family, Joyce
