Tributes

Rest easy Gary, you will be missed and never forgotten. You put up with your daughter Robyn and by default her friends (particularly Tarsha & I) antics over the years. You always laughed and joked with us, even when you likely (and probably did) shook your head at us. Our condolences go out to the whole Scrimshaw extended family, wishing you peace and comfort where it can be found in this time of sorrow.

We didn’t get to spend much time with Gary, as we are South Islanders, who then moved to Australia, however we do know how much he meant to all his children and how much they meant to him. We offer you our love and support as you say goodbye. From Adrienne, Ketra and Ronan.
