Garry was a great guy. Very knowledgeable and did lots for the communities he lived in. He loved live and always had a good time wherever he went. Whether it was quadding in the mud or riding his sled in the snow. When we were done that for the day always ended with a few cocktails. He will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him especially his family. Who he loved unconditionally. Rest in Peace. The Sigurdson family - Posted by: Marilyn (Friend) on: May 14, 2023
