To Pam, so sad to hear of Gary´s passing, Gary was the first customer I ever called on as a young rep at Mico Wakefield, during the Advanced Door Systems days,he was a great guy, really looked after me, and we knew each other for a number of years.
We also Had Rugby League in common, me with the Halswell Club, and loved hearing about Gary´s Shirley team and how they were going. I wish I had contacted Gary over the last few years, He was a great guy and I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing, From Michael Woods Gold Coast.

Pam and Family, so sad to hear of Gary's passing last Saturday, I was looking forward to catching up with him on Monday morning to hear about the big Holiday which I am sure you enjoyed.
I have known Gary for many year's as he worked for Trevor, you could not meet a better bloke, his dry wit, sense of humour and work ethic was to be admired.
Having worked with him in the workshop over the last 8 months was amazing between us we could fathom out any situation that arose and the problem was solved, not only that we were a close-knit team having a laugh at each other when the opportunity presented itself, obviously no one took it any offence we would come back with one liners
Gazz we will pick up from where you left off. Thank you for the fellowship and you will be missed big time. Rest in peace mate.
