GARRY HOLLIER Suddenly but peacefully in his dream house, Garry left us on September 30, 2006. He leaves to mourn his loving wife Brenda and his five children, Richelle (Sheldon), Brendon (Marni), Dave (Brooke), Michael (Tara), Tracy (Andrew). He leaves a precious legacy to his eight grandchildren, Devon, Keegan, Alex, Hailey, Paige, Bradley, Tyler and Meaghan. Left to mourn him are his brother Wayne (Noreen), Avonna and Iona (Lou). Left to re-live and remember so many good times are his best friend and helper Grant Johnson, and our special family the Surgenors, Cal, Cheryl, Carley and Corie. Garry spent his childhood years in Grandview. After leaving there he dedicated his life to the field of air traffic control. Garry loved all 35½ years of his career, but one of the happiest days of his life was his retirement celebration. Garry served on council in Warren for three years and was an active member of the Lions Club during his early years in Warren. His garage was his haven. He loved puttering, designing, and building furniture. He made sure he built something for all of his kids. As Garry's health started to deteriorate his major project was to design his dream house. He worked on this project for five years. On the first night in our new home he peacefully left us, after making sure that his dream had come true. At Garry's request a celebration of his life will be held at Warren Memorial Hall on Friday, October 6 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Please come and have a drink and share a Garry story with us. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Warren Rec Centre in care of Chuck Lefley, Box 468, Warren, MB, R0C 3E0. The pain we feel most deeply are the hardest things today, because we, your family, loved you in a special way. We hold you close within our hearts; no distance can divide. For today, in memory's lane, we still walk side by side. Our thoughts are with you, your place no one can fill. In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall, in care of arrangements.
