I have great memories of Garry. We worked together a summer at the Village Party store in Farwell. We had tons of riotous laughter making pizza and goofing around with customers. As a testament to how much fun we had, his mom fired me. Lol! I have a few "Garry" stories that still make me and Farwell friends laugh. However when he was diagnosed with MS, he sought out my mom for solace as she also had it and successfully went into remission for 10 years. I had left Michigan for Alaska by then, but mom kept me apprised of Garry too. We both thought the world of him. His sense of humor slayed us. So sad to read his obituary. My sincere condolences.

Garry was my best birthday present ever. We were born on the same day, 11 years apart. I always told him we were twins! He was born Gary Rae Wiechert, and that is what he will always be to me, my sweet baby brother. My prayer is he has found peace.

Love, Your twin sister Coleen

Garry will always be my little birthday present, named Gary Rae Wiechert, born on the same day as I was, only 11 years later.

I always teased him we were twins. I
will always remember him as a feisty little guy who was always on the go.

When he was little, and we played on the farm we lived on, it was always cowboys and Indians. Being the only girl I had to be the Indian.

I doctored him through the chicken pox, when he was little.

His grandpa Wiechert cared for him, during the day, for 4 months, when mom was in the hospital with tuberculosis

He was ring bearer at my wedding, and in later years took our sons Clint and Colby up north for a wonderful weekend of fishing. A memory they treasure to this day.

My dearest brother, I will miss you to day I die.

Love,
Coleen, your twin
