Linda and I were saddened to hear of the passing of a great cousin.
The memories of Gary in the early part of my life are memories of fun, laughter and love.
In later years, Linda and I shared a special day of being with Gary and his children at 108 House in British Columbia.
Although we have lived many miles apart throughout our adult lives, these memories will always remain forever in our hearts.
Our condolences to all the families.

I was so terribly sorry to hear of cousin Gary's illness and passing. From reading the other messages posted here, I see that Gary was blessed with a loving family. I remember his sense of fun and the "twinkle in his eye" at family gatherings when we were all younger. Remember the good times! My thoughts and prayers are with his family and the whole Lucas clan.

Gary entered my life 15 years ago thanks to Susan's matchmaking skills. That was 8 grandchildren ago!! He loved those grandkids more than life itself. He was the most generous and selfless man I knew. He would drop everything to go help his kids; whether it be moving, renovating, watching the grandkids or just to keep in touch.
He always indulged my golf addiction. He was happy to be home making supper and vacuuming while I was out on the golf course because he knew how much I loved my golf. I miss you every day and you will always be in my heart. Rest In peace Gar

There aren't words to express how sorry Bob and I are to have heard the news of dear Gary.
Despite being geographically challenged over the years, Gary's loving, giving nature and his light up the room smile have always stayed close to our hearts.
He will be so missed by everyone whose life he touched, especially his family.
Our sympathy and love go out to the whole Lucas clan,
Cousin Pam and Bob McBean

We are so grateful to have been a part of Gary's life. His earnest greetings, infectious smile, amusing laugh and unusual additions of peculiar vegetables; always brightened up our family gatherings.

He was so helpful with my Grandma and Grandpa, Frannie, Katie and Riley and for that I will be always grateful.

Thanks Gary for welcoming us into your awesome family and giving us the gift of them. Your spirit will live on, no doubt.

Thanks for always giving my kids that little bit of extra attention and treating Adam and I with such kindness and respect.

You were a great man and we will truly miss you.

With love,
Adam and Christie, Maya and Noah
