Thank you for thinking of us and sending your condolences. Yes, Dad/Gramps always let us know how proud he was of each and every one of us. He definitely turned into a big softie once he was blessed with his two "buddies." So grateful that he got to be the GRAMPS that they deserved...holding onto our memories now to comfort us in this time of grief.

Holly,
I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your father. I saw the video that he made, and from the sounds of it, he loved you, your sister, and his grandsons deeply. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. Sending lots of love.

Thank you for thinking of us. Yes, my dad made sure we all knew how much he loved us all and we did the same for him. Never parted ways without giving him "SMOOCHIES & SQUEEZIES" and telling him that we all loved him. No regrets...just happy memories and stories to share that will allow us all to carry on his memory for the rest of our lives. ((((HUGS))))

I will miss our talks Garry! Everything from our political points of view, to our Local 150 talks, you were indeed a great person to talk with. I will miss you my friend, and my Union brother. Everytime I see a black truck driving by, I will think of you coming by and honking, and giving me that friendly wave.

Oh, boy! My dad could sure talk politics for sure. Already missing those sharp comebacks of his, but also know just where to find them here in my own home. His grandsons are also gifted with his same quick wit and senses of humor, so love having two little pieces of him here with me during this difficult time. Thank you for sharing your memories of my dad and sending your condolences.

Garry was a classmate of mine a long time ago when Hudson Lake elementary school was the center of our universe. We also graduated from NPHS together (which somehow doesn't seem all that long ago). He left us way too soon and he will be missed. Rest in peace old friend. Dan Shead

Holly and Family, so very sorry to learn of your dad's passing. I wish I could be there to help in some way like you were there for Shannon's family 2 months ago. I am always around if you need a shoulder to cry on. Just know who he is giggling with right now and that should give you some comfort. Praying for you all.

I worked with Garry at the docks at US Steel for several years. Garry was a great man and a great operator. He was always finding a way to keep things interesting and mostly funny. He was just a great guy and my condolences to the family.
