  28. Dear Joanne and Lisa,
    Gary became your stepdad, as well as being father to Clay, Adam and Blake, when he married our sister Phyl. Over the next 35 years Gary lovingly embraced his extended family and watched them grow into adulthood and became Pa and Grandpa to the brood which followed.
    Gary was a kind and loving man whose support and guidance to all his family will never be forgotten.
    Thank you Gary for your steadfast love and support to all our family, especially to our Sister Phyl in her final years.
    We are happy for you that you found happiness again and we are so very sad that you were taken too soon from all of us.
    Pamela and Alan.
