I met Gary at least 6 years ago in our condo building elevator. We quickly became friends and watched out for each other. He was just a nice guy, friendly, caring, generous and honest. I will miss him so much especially those frequent coffee times where we supported and encouraged each other. He spoke often of his family whom he loved dearly. I pray our loving God will cover Gary’s family with comfort , strength and peace.

We   will remember you as  a   man we always  could relay on.
Every  Sunday we had our special telephone moments  and we will mis that dearly.
Holland is far away.

I met Gary through his good friends Bob and Judith, when he visited Ottawa a few years ago.   He was a very vibrant and interesting man.  My condolences to his family and friends.  He will be dearly missed.

I have several memories of Gary that stick out in my mind.  First he had the best french toast ever.  I always hated french toast and one of the first times I stayed over Gary made his amazing french toast and I was always brought up to eat what was set out for me to eat.  I took one bit and loved it.  I have tried to make them for myself and nothing came close.  
He (and Jackie) also had the most amazing caesar salad its a recipe I still use to this day.  
Gary your infectious smile and sparkling eye will be missed by all the people that love and admire you.  xo Alison Colbourne (Wark)
