Garry leaves behind many wonderful and dear friends too numerous to mention (you know who you are!). His love of cars and friends has spanned over many years. Garry was a proud member of Ducks Unlimited and S.W.O. Heritage Village as well as the Mustang Club of America. His daily coffee breaks with his "Gang" at Tim Hortons, Tecumseh and Manning, will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. He treated everyone as his equal and had never an unkind word towards anyone.
