We are sorry to hear about Gary. He will be missed around the community with his smile and laugh. Our stone mason was so helpful and was very talented. We used to play hockey together with the Thedford old timers, even though he wasn’t ever old! My dad George will also miss him on the golf course where he was at his best, always enjoying the game. Our prayers are with you.
