Garry was a good man and a good friend - a valuable thing in this life. It will be hard to think about a world without him.
All my condolences to Bev and Greg and Larry and family.

I was sorry to hear of Garry's passing. I once lived on Waco Road and went to school with Garry and Larry at Vinson High School in the 7th and 8th grade. Garry also visited our home once when we moved to Ona and went to church with us during a scouting event with my older brother Richard Arthur. May God bless and comfort each of you. Dianna
