Garry passed away peacefully on 25th July aged 82.
Loved husband of Joy, loved father and father in law of Glenn and Stacey, Tricia and Chris.
Pop of Julia, Paige and Jackson.
It's not what we write, it's not what we say,
it's how we remember you, in our own special way,
always loved, never forgotten.
Forever in my heart, Joy
You never failed to do your best, your heart was true and tender,
you simply lived for those you loved, and those you loved remember,
a smiling face, a heart of gold, the dearest Dad this world could hold,
on earth you toiled, in heaven you rest, bless you Dad, you were the best.
Forever loved Glenn and Stacey
Dad, Thank you for being there for me, for your guidance, support with the horses and travelling to all the competitions.
Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad and you were the best!
Tricia
Pop, you lived an interesting life full of many stories and adventures. Thanks for the support and encouragement in my own endeavours.
You will be missed but never forgotten.
Love no.1 Julia
I love you Pop and I am so proud to be your granddaughter. I will always cherish our time together.
The memories and stories about my Pop will continue to make me smile.
Thank you Pop
"See you later alligator"

Until next time,
Paige
So long Pop, thank you so much for all that you taught me and all that we shared, don't worry, I'll only ever tell mum a half of what we got up too.
You'll be loved always, never forgotten.
