Whow. I always admired Gary's sense of humor, spirit and demeanor. I too knew Gary through work at BC Tel; special memories of 'choir practices' on Thursdays at Delaneys!My sincere condolences to your family and loved ones.

So sad to hear this. My sincere condolences to all who loved and knew Gary Tilton. I too worked with Gary for over 10 years at BTE and will never forget his extra special demeanour. He was one smart, charismatic man. Gone too soon...
RIP Gary

It is a shock to read that Gary has left us. Although we lost contact when he took early retirement our time together at BC Tel (ST&B)was always fruitful. Gary's humour and bright outlook on life always made the sun shine whenever he entered a room. My very sincere condolences to all his family

My most heartfelt condolences go out to Gary's family. I too, worked with Gary for many years at B.C. Tel and appreciated his great sense of humour and his friendship through the years. He was a very special person who will be missed by all. It's too soon to say good-bye, but my memories will always be fond ones.

I was so very sorry to hear of the passing of Gary. He was my supervisor and friend at BC Tel for a number of years. I remember how excited he was at the thought of retiring at age 50, and we continued to keep in touch after that, going for drinks with Marion W and hearing about his latest escapades in Mexico and beyond. I can picture Gary having a drink and listening to the Beach Boys song Kokomo wherever he is now! Age 60 is far too young to pass.
