To Gare-man: Things won't be the same without that big friendly grin, and friendly hello. I can be away for months, years and you still treated me like the four year old kid from next door. I can't imagine a better dad for Denise and Marty and of course for Paul and I if we ever needed you. I will miss you tons and you will forever be in my heart. To Linda: I wish I could be with you in this sad time to try to put a smile on your face. I will be there in spirit and crying by your side.

Love ya lots and just know I'm thinking of you guys always. Lorrie

Linda and Family Memories go back to family reunions and picnics in Springbank many years ago. Despite the fact you and I said "hi" riding the Springbank bus together for many years - and living around the corner for many, we never got together - certainly a regret. Last time really talked to Garry was at the Funeral Home - and if memory serves, he was looking after one of the grandchildren. Wish you all the best - and please pass this on to Maxalea also. Bill and Jean Ann (We will be out of the country - leaving Wed -

~ Bill and Jean Ann Knowles (nee Hedley)

Dear Gar So glad I got to say goodbye, and am so glad that you are no longer in pain although we will all miss you so very much - no more fresh made bread first thing in the morning no more home-made pickles or jam so many, many reasons we will all miss you R.I.P. Gar you have sure earned it. Love, Lanie & Family
