Gary was so very caring and loved to laugh!

He always told me he loved me. Always quick to reply to a FB post, very positively!

He will be truly missed & I feel so blessed to call him my Uncle!

At his difficult time, may you find comfort in the love & support of all of those around you. Sending thoughts, prayers and hugs for strength & peace to bring comfort and courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.

There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. Author Unknown
