To family and friends of Garry,

My prayers are with each of you during this time of sorrow. Garry and I both worked in Fleet for Verizon and it was a pleasure to talk with him. He was always so friendly and was such a gentleman to talk to. I know everyone in Fleet will miss him being a part of the team. May God be with you.

I will always remember Garry with fondness as we were classmates from first grade all the way thru until we graduated from high school.When we had to sit in assembly in alphabetical order Garry and I always ended up a seat apart with Bonnie Sue Jones between us! I remember Garry's mom was one of our room mothers in 4th grade and she always made the best cupcakes! I'll be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
