Our condolences to the family. Garry is in a better place now, his quality of life for the past few years hadn’t been what he wanted for his later life. I know you will all miss him, but you have to remember the great things you did together. Our thoughts are with you.
Dear Shirley,
I was very sorry to hear this news. I hadn’t seen Gary for many years, but I have great memories of him from when I was much younger. He was always very warm and welcoming whenever my family would visit the two of you.
I also remember his love of sports. At home in Victoria, I still have a Buffalo Sabres hat that he gave me when I was 7 or 8 years old, lamenting that Buffalo had finished at the bottom of the league that year!
My condolences and best wishes during this time.
