Sonya, Hilary, Annabel, our Vanessa, Hannah and Ryder.

Words can’t express the shock when my grandson, Casey, told me of Garry’s passing. Our little Freya has lost a Grampa, was one of my first thoughts and Vanessa, loved so much by our family, what she must be going through. Sonya, Garry had a wonderful, compassionate, close loving family that you created, and in his pictures it showed, his grandchildren adored him, painful that Freya didn’t get to know him more. May Garry be peaceful in his new home, free of pain. One thing I believe strongly in, “ talk about him,” laugh at memories and cry. My heart is with you all.Garry, R.I.P.

I can't find the words, no matter how much I try to help you through this sadness, I wish so much - I had that power, But Me and I am speaking for all my family we wish you to hold onto each other, remember how many times you laughed, talked and enjoyed family moments with your Dad, we never realize what we really have until it taken, Every time Gary spoke of his family it was with pride and joy, his girls were his everything and Wow when he had a son, he was more than thrilled, I have many tears for you all and I think of you all the time, I am here if you need anything, One thing I always say and it is something I never understand is Why? Life Sucks.... Please reach out if you feel you need something, sometimes a person to share your thoughts with can really help, we love you all ... and Huge Hugs to all of you....

We're spending this evening thinking of Garry & how much his family loves him & how much he loved & valued all of you guys.
So glad he was able to be part of our son's & granddaughter's lives.
Garry didn't deserve the hurdles life threw him, but with the help of his wife, children (their partners) & his grandchildren, he managed to get through them. May he rest in peace.
The love of his family is overwhelming. May Garry watch over you, guide you & protect you all.
