My husband and l respected Gary as a professional and we grew as friends, too. My husband passed away the third of July but he would have been saddened to hear the news of Gary ‘s death due to Parkinson’s.

Once Gary retired he played bridge with us at the Senior Centre or often at friends’ homes. Gary loved the challenge. I will miss his summer visits and I send my condolences to his family.

I had Dr. Goldthorpe as my family Dr. until I was in my early 20's. He was such a good GP and always took the time to listen to your medical issues.

His nurse Debbie is now the nurse at my new family Dr.'s office and I see her regularly.

So sorry to hear of Dr. Goldthorpe's passing, he will be greatly missed by many. Sending my heartfelt condolences to his family!

Sincerely,

Roxanne Burrowes
