My sincere sympathies to Gary's family. I have many happy memories of your visits to the farm as we were growing up. It was wonderful to talk and reminisce with Gary on the phone this past October. May you rest in peace, Gary.

Worked many years with Gary. Enjoyed working with him especially his sence of humour we had so many laughs even in hot and tough working condictions Loved his intenceness that would change to a laugh When needed. Rest in peace Gary. I have great memories.

so many great memories listening to Commish tell funny stories over a cold beer at Rossmere or at the Curtis.

"Perhaps they are not stars, but openings in Heaven where the love of your lost ones pours through and shines down upon you letting. you know they are happy".

I met Gary at Hampstead Elementary School and at a young age, he quickly had a place in my heart Throughout junior high & high school and til the late 70's we would be at some of the same parties, dances, socials, bars, ski trips, hanging out. His incredible charm, kindness and wit always doubled the fun factor and improved any event. One of the few last times I ran into Gary was at a social late '83 and we had a wonderful opportunity to reminisce. Throughout these past 40 years I have often thought of Gary and always hoped he had found as much love, laughter and joy as his presence brought to so many lives.

To Gary's family and friends, my deepest condolences.

We are sorry to hear of the passing of Gary. We have many happy memories from childhood play weekends to family gatherings to weddings, anniversaries and more. Our sympathies to Gary's family. Rest in peace.

Our condolences to Gary 's family. So many wonderful memories, visits to the farm, learning how to drive a standard in the '64 Chev pickup, to our road trip to California in '78, spending numerous hours at the Wilson's listening to music, playing cards to socials at U of M & many Rock concerts. Those were the days "cars, tunes and girls". Mexico trips & so much more. We will miss you! Rest in peace. "No pain, no worries."

Love your cousins, Allan and Joanne

Our favourite memory of Gary is at Burt's cabin in Rush Bay.....Gary trying to paddle a canoe on the lake. We watched him from the shore, and were entertained to tears. Gary had the best sense of humour, a quick wit, and he always made us laugh. There are so many fond & happy memories we will never forget.

Gary, we will miss you. Rest peacefully dear friend.

My dearest Gary,

Thank you for being such an exceptional boyfriend who I think of fondly to this day. As I have lived outside of Boston for 20 years with my husband and 2 special children (4 years in Ohio) I still would drive down your Street wishing you all the best when

visiting my brother and sister still living in Winnipeg. Coming for a visit Aug 1st and will still probably drive down your Street. You will always have a special place in my heart. See you in heaven one day.

Love,

Kimberley Tuttle
