Honey, I know it has been a year already, but it still seems like yesterday. I will always love you.

Daddy it's been almost 5 months since I lost you and I still feel like it's yesterday. Every day at work when the song somewhere over the Rainbow comes on I know it's you I can feel you.  I just wish you were back here.  I don't know why but god needed you more.  You were such a great man and daddy and pa pa. I miss you so much and I love you incredibly more and more each passing day

I'm shocked to hear of your passing. You were such a good man. Our family enjoyed the holidays with you. My heart sank when I found out . I wish we could have said goodbye. You were loved and always will be. Your mother was always so proud of you. Keep watch over your grandbabbies. They loved you so much. You will not be forgotten. RIP

I am so sorry for this loss. I had an opportunity to work with Garry at Foley's and enjoyed his sense of humor and dedication to his job. Garry and I shared a love of Foley's memorabilia and we frequently compared the items we had collected through the years. He always spoke of his wife and daughter and was very proud of his family. He was a good man and will be missed.

It saddens me to hear of your passing.  We most definitely had some good times in IT in the day...peace be with you and your family.

Garry, you will be missed.  My condolences to your family.  I worked with Garry at Foley's.  Always kind and friendly.  Myriam and/or Natalie, would you please email me.

I am so sorry to hear of this loss. I met Gary on a Macys trip to Minnesota where we worked together. Little did I know that later we worked under the same management team.

Garry was my son in law for close to thirty five years. The memories are immense. Garry and my Daughter met polka dancing. They were such  great dancers. My husband had the  great pleasure to walk Myriam down the aisle what a wonderful day it was. I knew that Garry would  take good care of  my  Daughter. The  birth of Natalie was such a joyful event. Garry  was smart and so funny we had a lot of good times. Done a lot of shopping for antiques. Myriam and  Natalie and the grand kids i wish i could take the pain away. The loss of this wonderful family man is great. Be strong  Myriam and Natalie but most of all love and  support each other. I am sure he would want that.

My deepest sympathyto Myriam and Natalie.  Garry was a most sensitive, sincere and beautiful person.  He will be greatly missed.

Garry, I have known you the day you got marry to my best friend. We all had so much in common, namely polka music and dancing. You will be miss by us and your family. I will do my best to watch over Myriam, Natilie, and the grandkids. Love everyone! My prays our with everyone and god bless. Brenda

I worked with Garry from my first day at Foley's NW.  His laughter, sense of fun and love of family is what I remember most.  He taught me how to polka!  My prayers are with Myriam and Natalie.  No words can convey my sorrow nor provide enough comfort to replace such a wonderful man.

I have worked off & on with Garry since 1981. He was my connection with the old Foley's gang. I will miss him....David Lindberg

What an absolute shock to learn that Garry has passed away! We had some great times at the Bill Mraz Dance Hall. Garry was a wonderful dancer and just a wonderful person. Our deepest sympathy to Myriam, Natalie and Elsie. From Vicki & Larry Zajicek & Sydney & Georgie Jurchak

Where do I start... my heart is so heavy for Garry's family. I wish I had a way to just be there to help out. Unfortunately the miles between our families is quite long. Every time I would think of Gary and his family, I remember like it was yesterday of him teaching his Florida cousin to polka! We visited several festivals, and danced a million times over the course of our teenage years. He was so funny! And was SUCH a host taking me where ever I wanted to go! His part of the family would come to Florida to visit us and I remember our living room being cleared out to make a dance floor! Then we would hop in their car and Grandma and I would travel all over the area, as well as most of Georgia.. Fact is we have some awesome memories... and I feel so blessed to have had such a wonderful cousin! May you rest in peace, and may our pain of losing someone so special ease as time passes. After all, we'll meet up again soon! :)

I did not know Garry  very well  but the man I did know will be missed. Rest in pease my friend.

So sorry for your lost. It'll take time for healing. My prayers are with you.May he rest in peace.

Daddy I will always miss you and I know for a fact Tyler, Cheyenne and Kinsley will as well.  You will always be in all of our hearts Daddy.  I love you always and forever.  This is probably the hardest thing I will have to write.  I want to say so much more.  You were truely an amazing person, husband to mom, father to me and pa pa to your grand kids.  I love you so much Daddy.

Garry, I miss you so much, you were my rock you took good care of me, you were the love of my life. Your wife Myriam

I didn't know Garry very long just under a year but in that time I did meet his Wife, Daughter and Grandkids which tells me what a Loving Family Man he was. Garry was very funny and witty and I really enjoyed when he would send out a joke. The world is a sadder place without Garry he will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It was a Pleasure to work with Garry. Prayers go out to Garry's family, I am deeply sorry for your loss, he will be missed.

I do not remember Garry without a smile, during good times and bad.  His humor and spirit will be missed.  Accept our condolences and prayers in this time of grief.

Garry used to work for me.
He had such a sense of humor and was always so calm regardless of what was going on around him.  My prayers are with you Myriam and Natalie.

I was shocked to hear of your loss and my prayers and thoughts are with the family.  I have been remembering all the good times we had at Foley's working together in IT, shopping in the store, eating in the lunch room and having all the special department parties when you would bring all the old Foley's newsletters for us to see.

Garry, you will be so missed by your family and friends. It was so great growing up all together, going to dances and dancing with a great dancer like you!!  You are now dancing up in Heaven and watching over your wonderful family!  You have left us too soon.  Thank you for being a part of our lives.  My Deepest Sympathy to you Myriam and Natalie.
