I met Garry many years ago and we became instant friends -- shortly after meeting him my husband (Norris Alexander McLean -- deceased) and I shared many dinners/visits with Garry -- he loved cooking as I do and we had fun inviting each other to our respective homes and sharing a special meal. Gary subsequently met the love of his life and moved to Winnipeg, married Pam at a lovely ceremony which we had the privilege of sharing that wonderful day. My husband passed away in the fall of 2009 and Garry honoured us by being one of Norris' pallbearers. My heart goes out to Pam -- their life together was too short -- sometimes life is just not fair, he was just too young. Pam God Bless you and help you through this most difficult time. Garry will be missed by all who knew him. - Posted by: Mary McLean (Friend) on: Jul 21, 2012

Garry was a great mentor to me and many others in the business, Very ethical and professional and very well respected in the Real Estate industry and by his clients until his departure from Edmonton to Winnipeg. He was funny, witty and fun to be with. We both loved a drink or two of good Scotch. I will miss my great friend Garry. - Posted by: Charlie Ponde (Past co worker, in Real Estate and a close friend) on: Jul 17, 2012
