Gary was definitely one of the good ones. A humble individual who was always sweet with everyone.
Enjoyed our conversations about  our Habs right up to April of this year.
A sweet soul gone too soon. 
Rest in peace Gary.🙏🏼

Un deuxième grand moment de bonheur, avec l’arrivée de Nathan.  Je n’oublierais jamais la gentillesse et la bonne humeur de mon beau père, il restera à jamais dans mon cœur.

La première fois que Gary rencontrait William. Un moment magique rempli d’émotion.

Gary was my oldest friend, like a brother to me. We did everything together from playing with tin soldiers and dinky toys at age five, to playing touch football, baseball, road hockey, and sharing many adventures as young men. Gary was an avid fisherman and every spring we would head to “the rapids” near Grande Moulin. We joined the cub scouts. As we grew older, we did all the things that teenagers do and some things that teenagers shoudn’t do. Gary and I were lucky to have great friends like Gary Mitchell, Bruce Beaver, and Ron Davies. We were lucky to meet two girls who could put up with us, and later marry. Ethel was the love of Gary’s life. He couldn’t wait to tell me about her when they first met at the Log Flume at Expo 67. It was a privilege to have Gary as a Best Man at my wedding. Gary was always a calm and reassuring presence in every situation. He was smart, kind, and without malice to anyone (except maybe Donald Trump, as Gary Mitchell reminded me!). He was a great friend and we will all miss him dearly.

Ethel, I don't know what to say, gone so young.  He was my bossum budy,  Same age as me.  I know we haven't kept in touch so much, but i saw him on Facebook.  which kept us all in touch with his jokes and pictures.  Will miss him.  You are in our hearts and thoughts.  Our prayers are will you.  Love Heather and Dave (Finn} Grinton.

Uncle Gary was the kindest and gentlest of souls who always made the whole family welcome at his and Aunt Ethel’s home. All our love and support goes out to Ethel, Tracy, Scott, Carole, William, and Nathan, and Shawn and Rosanna.

What a great photo of Gary. 
To Ethel and family, Diane and I were shocked to hear the sad news and our prayers go out to you all. Gary and I go back to our teenage years and they were wonderful times. Going to LTM High School, Gary and I decided to brush our hair down and cut along like bangs and Voila we were a Beatle, but Principal Blakely found out and we were told to go home and not to come back until our hair was normal. Brushed our hair to the right and were back the next day. Our trip to PEI in 68 was a blast with Walter Johnson, Ron Davies, Bruce Beaver, and myself. It was an amazing time, and we had so many more wonderful times. We grew up in the best of times ever.
All our love
Diane and Gary Mitchell

Going to miss reminiscing with Gary about all the fun we had when we were starting our married lives. Miss you already xxxxx
All our love to Ethel, Scott, Carole, Shawn, Rosanna, Tracy, William and Nathan.
Thinking of you during this difficult time, Arlene and Dino

Uncle Gary was a kind, gentle man. I will think of him often and miss him forever.
Rest in peace
