Garry graduated from Ed Feehan High School and did a short stint at the railway.  He then worked at P.A Bottlers.  This is where he met his wife Brenda who he was married to for 44 years.  Brenda and Garry moved to Calgary, then to Saskatoon where they raised their two sons. Garry worked at Akzo Nobel for 30 years.  Later in life they moved to Candle Lake. Garry loved to fish with his dad and son Chris, and loved pulling Aaron and his friends around the lake in the tube.  Gary loved golfing, playing slow pitch and having a few drinks with the boys.  He also loved camping, downhill skiing and water skiing.  He also enjoyed watching and coaching his kids in hockey and ball.  Then came along his beloved grandkids Victoria, Mackenzie, Gabrielle and Joshua.  He liked teaching them his love of all these activities as well as BB guns and crib and card games.  We will miss his spaghetti and science experiments and the “Dickie Birds”.
