Gary spent countless hours visiting with his grandchildren and they will always have fond memories of their Grandpa reading to them, playing with them and entertaining them.
Gary will be remembered for his unique sense of humour, style and wit. His outstanding memory for detail was amazing and he spent countless hours recounting stories with family and friends.
