    Garry was a wonderful man! His smile was infectious and he was always so kind to me. It was so great to have spent time around him and the family. Miggi and Danny are like older brothers to me. I just love the whole family and I know he is in a better place!

    Garry was a fun loving person and would do anything for anyone. We will miss doing things with Garry and Elva especially Garry winning dance contest.

    I didn't get to know Gary as much as I would have liked to. But he was always very nice to me and I liked him because he seemed like a decent good person. I'm sad I missed out on him. But I'm glad he made my aunt and cousins happy. Gary, you will be missed and your kindness didn't go unnoticed.
