I’m so sorry to hear about Garry. I’m going to miss his happy face, his outgoing personality, his hospitality when I visited him & Kathy on many Christmas days. He loved socializing, made many friends where he lived and had the energy of a teenager when he went out with his friends. Had several get togethers with Garry, his daughter and my friend Kathy, my Dad and myself.

I’m going to miss you Garry. Have a wonderful time back with your wife and with my Dad enjoying eternal bliss as energy and please give Kathy lots of positive signs that you’re always here. ❤️ 🥰

My Dad was very passionate and had a great sense of humor. He loved to tease me and my Mom all the time, example chasing us around with dead tropical fish (me) and dead snakes (mom) LOL, he was a hoot and so outgoing. He also was a hero, he didn't think twice about running into homes on Fire to save his Grandmother. Assisted those in car crashes and pulled them out of the car before it went on Fire. He should have been a First Responder. He will be missed by so many people in his building where he resided and made friends so easy, I envied him.

My Dad was always a hero, ran into House on Fire to save his Grandmother, ran over to car accidents to pull out those in the car who couldn't get out, and should have been a First responder. He had best sense of humor chasing me and my Mom around with dead tropical fish and dead snakes, me with the fish, my mom with the snakes, lol. He was loved by so many people in the building where he resided and by my friends. Dad I will miss you BIG TIME!!!
