GARY LOUIS STILL

March 28, 1944 - October 6, 2021

With extremely heavy hearts, that we announce the passing of our dearest father, husband, papa, brother, uncle and our friend Gary.

Gary passed away on Oct 6, 2021 at the age of 77, with family at his side.

He is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Gilberte; daughters, Shelley Fucile (Jeff) and Shannon Vacchiano (Sam); grandchildren, Brad Fucile (Ashley), Brandon Fucile (Megan) Madison Fucile (Brent), Ashlee Vacchiano (Joe), and Brayden Vacchiano; great grandchildren, Caleb and Isabella Readman; sister Louise Barrow (Fred); and brother Earl Bjornson (Judy). Gary was also very close to his wife’s family, Jean-Paul, (Gloria), Lucille (Jim), Marie (Neil), Lorraine (Brett), Carmelle (Pat), Annette (Gordie), Rolly, Gilbert (Gel), Cecile (Frank), Louis (Patty), and George, as well as many nieces / nephews, relatives, and friends. Gary is predeceased by his mother Bernice Still and his mother-in-law Cecile Larocque.

Gary met the love of his life at the BA Garage & Restaurant he co-operated in Manitoba. Shortly after they married, they moved to Thunder Bay, ON where Gary worked for Safeway, and became store manager. Shortly after retiring from Safeway, Gary, Gilberte and the entire family moved to Manitoba, where they settled in the town of Mitchell. Gary loved golf, fishing, sports, downhill skiing, dancing and manicuring his beautiful yard, but mostly he loved being with his family.

Gary was friendly, outgoing, humorous, and kind-hearted. He will forever be remembered and loved by his family and friends.

Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, a private celebration of Gary’s life will be held amongst close family and friends at 19 Poplar Place, Mitchell, MB on Saturday Oct 16th at 12-4PM. Anyone interested in attending may contact the family by emailing shelleyfucile@yahoo.ca

We were so fortunate to have Gary as part of our family all these years, be they seem too short. Memories of Gary are of a kind, fun loving, easy going guy. I remember when Gary and Gilberte were dating and Gary would come to our house to visit and he would let us kids pile into his beautiful Pontiac Parisienne convertible and we would drive it all over in the back field - now that's Easy Going! One time Dad was giving Gary a 'talk' in the kitchen and all the girls were eves dropping from the living room, giggling and laughing at Gary, alone in the kitchen with Dad. We can all remember endless fun times with Gary around. He will be terribly missed, but forever memories of him will warm our hearts. Love to Gilberte and family at this most difficult time. Jean- Paul and Gloria, Glenn and Sherrie

Uncle Gary was an amazing man and so fun to be around. Kind and funny and such a positive role model to look up to. He raised a wonderful family with Auntie Gilberte. Uncle Gary will be sorely missed, but fondly remembered by all who knew him. Our love and positive thoughts are with Auntie Gilberte, Shelly, Shannon and the entire family. ❤Love from Paul, Rachelle, Rylan, Dreyden and Brenner Mackie

What a beautiful tribute! Shelley, I always admired the love and closeness of your family - and your Dad  certainly played a huge role in the family bond. It was a pleasure to meet your parents over the many years we worked together - you adored them and I could see why.  He was a beautiful man. In so many ways. And you have the best memories to cherish - his legacy lives on through each one of you. That. Is. Priceless ❤  I know the loss of a dad... and it’s tough. But keeping his memory alive, and laughing and loving is wished for you. Give my best to your mom and family. I smile when I think of Gary Still. Take care.

Gary was the coolest dad of all the dads of my friends.  I have fond memories of hanging out with Shannon at their condo behind Westgate in Thunder Bay and we always knew that Shannon’s parents would be there for us if we needed it.  He has left a mark on this world and will be remembered fondly.  ❤

Gary was a great guy I have so many positive memories of Gary from years ago.  Laughs jokes bugging and just great get togethers with all of us. The nicest hard working man I know.  He worked hard at Safeway’s to on court street. As I remember.  Rest In Peace my old friend.  Till we meet again. Sorry I could not attend the celebration of life.  Hugs everyone.  Take Care.  ❤❤❤
