    Our sympathy to Marilyn, Matt and the family. Gary was a good neighbor and friend over the years. He certainly pursued and enjoyed the things in life that he passionately loved.

    Marilyn, Matt and family–our hearts are breaking for you. So saddened to hear about Gary. We always enjoyed our visits with Gary and you and will always remember the jokester that he was. Gary always had a smile on his face and was a friend to all. My family still talks about going to the Lancer’s hockey game in Waterloo with you guys. Such a fun new experience for us. Sorry we will not be able to make it out to his visitation/funeral this week. We are leaving on vacation on Saturday. Our prayers and thoughts will be with you, Marilyn and Matt as you lay your loved one to rest. Cherish all your memories of him close to your heart!

    Marilyn: I’m so very sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. The kids (Jeris, Marty and Shelbi) and I have such fond memories of Gary at the Lancer Hockey games and going out with the group after to eat. We’re so extremely sorry for your loss and hope all your memories of Gary help ease your pain and please know that you have your angel in heaven looking over you!
