Everyone should have an Uncle "Mackie". Nobody made latex glove people quite like him. From changing my diapers to helping me through my Gran's death, he was always there for me. He taught me about hockey and the importance of being yourself. And more importantly, he taught me about devotion to the ones you love. I know you and Gran are together again, and the Crown and Coke are flowing!
To Gary, I pray you find comfort in knowing how much you were loved. Every nagging warning about "no more cookies" came from the deep love he had for you.

We have lost a dear friend. Our beloved "Mackie" can dance in his platform boots and drink rye and coke tall once again. Go in peace.

I regret not being able to attend the services in the loss of Grant. My deepest heart felt sympathy to Gary, Cindy and family members and of course the many special friends in his life.
They say that you are fortunate if you are able to count the number of true friends within your lifetime on one hand. Even though we have lost touch during recent years, that‘s how I have always felt about him.
I would like to be in touch with the special people in Grant's life, some are friends from a long time ago.
For those interested in reminiscing, you can reach me at [email protected]
Peace and love to all.

I'm so sorry to have lost Grant - he has been one of my very best friends since grade nine. Both Dave and I have such wonderful memories of the Robinson family and especially Grant who we certainly partied hard with in high school. We love you Grant, and we'll miss you. Margaret Jones

I only knew Grant though his work at Condon's. He was the kindest, gentlest man who went out of hid way to be helpful to others. I have missed his voice and help over the phone and I add my condolences to family and friends who knew him well.
