So sorry to hear this sad news. My deepest condolences to Danny, Sandie and your families for the loss of your brother, Garry. I always remember when at Rideau, Garry would wear his Rideau sweater with such pride, support all of our sports teams with his presence and take an active part in the school council. Instrumental in bringing our school closer together with his activities in the school along with his presence, kindness, humour and friendship. My memories of Garry are fond. We continued our relationship throughout our lives. I shall cherish forever his
friendship and our memories. RIP Garry.
