Our sincere condolences to Leanne, Greg, Sara & Georgia.
Gary was a great friend for many years and of course great company on and off the golf course, we are truly saddened by Gary's passing and would have loved to have seen him more recently to say goodbye.
I was introduced to Gary by the late Mike 'Lenny' Worley, through Friday golf matches at Mcleans Is and of course Russley GC. Friday afternoons were always full of banter, laughter and a couple of beers post match. Gary was my playing partner when I shot my lowest score in golf, and kept me focused for the whole match, I will always fondly remember this round of golf and Gary being a part of it.
Rest In Peace -Gary
(I hope you and Lenny have booked a tee time at the Pearly Gates GC)
Love Richie & Mandy Cronin

My condolences to Leanne, Greg, Sara and families. Gary and Barb have always been kind and generous friends and I can't thank Gary enough for the times on the Gold Coast, always a bed available to stay and time to have a coffee. Cherished memories especially in Hawaii. RIP Gary
