It’s been an honour to have been called Gary’s Friend. Many hours spent chatting and working in the garage. Much love to Heather and Family xx He will be so missed, I’ll raise a ginger beer for him.

Garry will be missed by one and all! He loved his family life, work life and hobbies birds and tinkering in his garage. Always a hug and big smiles. I enjoyed watching the video especially the dancing with Heather who was his world. Those parting words at the end “bye bye” got me teary. Much love whanau x
