Dear Mary Helen, Dana and Gary,and families,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Gary's untimely passing. While I didn't know him well, what I do know is that he was a kind, loving, gentle giant of a man, with a sparkle in his eye, a wicked sense of humour and one of the most joyous and infectious laughs of anyone I have ever known. How blessed you all were to have had such a wonderful husband, brother, father and grandfather in your lives. I send you my most sincere and heartfelt condolences. His passing is truly a tragedy. Prayers and much love to you all.
