Rest in peace Gary. I'll always remember you, working with you was always exciting but most of all, I'll remember your bowties!

A long time friend and tennis partner; an real eccentric who had the confidence to be always true to himself; truly a one of a kind who will never be forgotten and will always be missed whenever I go to the club. For myself and Sarah.

Dear Lorraine,
I was very sorry to hear about your sudden loss. It has been many years since I played in Gary's mixed doubles tennis group. However, I still remember his outgoing and flamboyant personality. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very trying and difficult time.

Dear Lorraine Please accept my deepest sympathies in this terribly sad situation. What a wonderful character Gary was. You always knew he was there! I am so sorry I can't join you tomorrow as I'm in France at the moment. I will be thinking of you.

Gary was a special person and one of the first people I met when I joined the club. He will be missed by all his friends I know and especially by Miron and I. We will miss him but we will not forget him.
