From our family to your we offer our condolences. Garry and our dad were friends for many years. We enjoyed campfires at the cabin in Minnedosa and he would be one of the guys who came to our home for after work happy hour on Fridays. He was always smiling and positive. - Posted by: Della (Misanchuk) Mansoff (Friend) on: Mar 23, 2023

I was privileged to have worked with Garry when he was CEO at Brandon Mental Health Centre and found him to be a terrific leader who encouraged all of us who worked at the Centre. Later in life, I met up with him and Deanna again at Goldeyes games in Winnipeg and enjoyed his sense of humor and quick wit, undiminished from from my memories of years past, I was pleased to have an opportunity to cross paths with Garry in life!
