Gary will be sadly missed by his wife Donna; daughters, Colleen (Matt) of Texas, Karen (Keith) of Winnipeg, Laurie-Ann (Patrick) of Toronto; son Ryan and his cherished grandchildren, Slade, Curtis and Braden. He also leaves behind his mother Doris; brother Bill and sister Marlene of Ottawa, as well as sister Sybil (Maurice) of Toronto, and numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his father Jerimiah (1965), brothers, Bernard and Charles (1959), first wife Kathlene and son Patrick (1968), brother-in-law Patrick Madden (1983) and sister Irene (2000). Gary and Donna were together for 18 years and fulfilled a dream they both had of living in the country. Gary recently retired from the South-East Veterinary Clinic, a job that brought him much joy as he loved animals, especially his dog Buddy, who will miss him terribly.

A heart of gold stopped beating; Hardworking hands went to rest; God took you home to prove to us; He only takes the best. It is so hard to say goodbye my Love; until we meet again. Love, Donna P.
