Gary was a dear neighbour and friend. We chatted all the time on the front lawn or the lane behind our houses. If I needed an extra pair of hands for a project Gary was not only always available but curious as well about what we were working on. Gary also watched over the street like a mother hen; he was our very own Neighbourhood Watch. Edgewood will be a very different place without him.

Monte and I are so sorry that Gary has passed. Please accept our deepest condolances. Our whole family spent many, happy hours with him and will always remember him. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.

Sandy and I offer our condolences to Gary's family. Gary was a life long friend to both Sandy and I going back to the early eighties, we have spend countless weekends in Woodridge snowmobiling as well as vacationing in Pheonix. I have posted a few pictures of our dear friend Gary. As many of his friends and family know Gary was an avid snowmobiler, we started back in the early eighties. The original three Amigos were Gary, Rick Dionne and myself, we quickly became the four Amigos with the addition of Gil Bourrier filling the fourth spot. I would estimate that we put on in excess of 100,000 miles over a period of 25 years. One of the photos shows Gary taking a jump on his Formula 111, he loved the airtime. Another shows the four amigos stopping for a break on the trail, from left to right is myself, Gil, Gary and Rick. A picture of Sandy, Gary and Rick taking a well deserved break on the trail. Another of Gary and I after a ride out in thirty below zero weather. lastly a picture of our fishing club, Gary fourth from the right. we had many great times with Gary and miss him dearly. Rest in peace my friend.

Only part of my message sent

we are so very sorry for your loss.. I remember so many gatherings seeing Gary at aunty Martha's for Christmas and many, many get together at falcon lake and auntie Leona's place on Edgewood. They were always so much fun. Gary took many walks and often stopped in at my dads for a short chat, he was always so kind.I'm sorry we can't attend his celebration of life but our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

We are so very for your loss,Gary

My condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Gary's family. I have two favorite memories from a very long time ago! One is the family Christmas parties where "the kids", so many of us, put together a play and then came and performed for the adults. So much fun and in retrospect, from the adults perspective, probably hilarious! The other memory Is time at the lake, with various extended families and family members present at different times. What a family! I am pretty sure I remember Gary waterskiing, though I was very young so it could have been someone else... happy memories of a patient, fun, loving "old cousin." When I was so little, that is how I thought of him! Hoping all of you find peace and comfort as you move through grief.

Love,

Men's Closing

September 10, 2023

I always enjoyed meeting up with Gary for the hockey pool. And the fish fry out at Dianne's. Rest easy commissioner.

The Cadieux's have such fond memories of the whole Ducharme Clan! We miss each and everyone of you🥰. The games, laughter and meals shared-we'll remember all of it and hold it close to our hearts! A neighbour is friend close by-close in heart and always close to lend a hand. Fondest farewells but we'll see you all on the other side❤️

Dale,Jolene, Stacey and family. Our sincere condolences in the sudden loss of Gary. Still seems unbelievable. He now rests in peace with the family gone before him as well as my brother Rick who pre deceased him 3 years ago. Take courage in remembering all the good memories that will keep him close to your heart. RIP Gary Dave & Louise Morgan

Such a lovely tribute to Gary. I was lucky to have known all of the Ducharmes growing up, spending time with Maureen and Allan enjoying a few parties. I am sure Gary was hiding somewhere in the house! Our sincerest sympathy to you all.
