    Although it didn’t seem like Gary’s time, I don’t think he left anything on the table – a life well lived. Big hugs to Mel and Mike and family. Love from Andy and Joanne.

    I’m so sorry for the family to hear of Gary’s passing. I have memories of him and Dawna taking a drive and stopping to visit at our family (Bergeron) farm in Vermont when their children were little. He always had a friendly smile and good chats with my Dad.

    My deepest condolences to the Hoy family. It was nice seeing your dad last month, so happy to sit and talk with neighbours he hadn’t seen for a while. I hadn’t spoken to him in years but it felt like yesterday. He was reminiscing on times with my dad and I do believe he’ll be there to meet him on the other side. All my love, Mallory Blaine

    Terri, your RBC friends are deeply saddened to hear about your father’s passing. Losing a parent is never easy and we can only imagine how heavy this is for you and your family, especially so close to the holidays.
    Our thoughts are with you and may you find peace and comfort in the days ahead.

    Our sympathy goes to the Hoy and Fife families for their loss. How many games of hockey did I play with Gary? It had to be in the hundreds and he was always happy, a pleasure to play with and a good friend.

    Melanie, Terri, Tyler and Family
    My deepest sympathy to you on the passing of Gary. He was an admired and respected farmer in the area. I have many memories of working with Dawna and Gary on the Ontario Farm Management Program discussing the bottom line of farming. He always looked on the positive side of life and one of his comments after the hail damaged a lot of crops along Kerr’s Ridge Road, he said there will be another crop next year. He was a great supporter of the Dundas Soil and Crop Association and it was so nice to see Tyler take on some of the leadership in this group. He always made time for a chat whether at a farm event or at the grocery store. We celebrate a life well lived. Phyllis MacMaster
