Gary was a great friend to have at work. From the time I was an apprentice and on into my management days Gary was a pleasure to know and he will be missed by all who knew him at General Motors. My heart felt condolences to the entire Family.

Sincere heartfelt condolences to you, Donna and the family. We pray the Holy Spirit will comfort all of you. We are reminded that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and because of this we all can be sure Gary is now wrapped safely and lovingly in the arms of his Lord and Saviour. With much love to you and the family, Yours In Christ, Bev and Shawn Peever.
