I knew Gary since 1975.
When we were working for S H Parker.
He helped me a lot.
He was such a nice guy.
It's very sad to learn that he'd left us.
May God bless his soul

Working with Gary for 25 years, I lost one of my best teacher, best co-worker, best friend.  My deepest sympathy to the Minn's family.

My condolences his family and friends, although I worked for both S.H.Parker and Pioneer I never met him but spoke to him often

Gary was always well liked,friendly,a dedicated employee,a great team member who had a vast knowledge of his work. His "good morning with a smile" will be missed by all of us.
"R.I.P.," my friend.

My sympathy to Gary's family.  We were co-workers for many years in S.H.Parker and Pioneer, his passing was so unexpected and has touched us all, rest in peace my friend.

Gary was one of my closest friends growing up in Willowdale. We had much too much fun with all the others in our neighbourhood. Whether hanging out in the "garage gang" as kids or blasting around on the dirtbikes and streetbikes that were our life back then. To the years we were moving out and moving on, he was always just a phonecall away, and always our friend.
Rest in Peace Gary, never forgotten.

Your family is in our prayers and in our hearts. So sorry for your loss.

 That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.

My deepest sympathy. So sorry for your loss.

I remember Gary at the minns house hold in bolton on bambi trail. Always full of laughter while working with Jim minns in the basement. Hung out with me and Chris he will be sorely missed by all. 

My deepest condolences to their entire friends and family in this sad time. He will be greatly missed...

I, like many others, will greatly miss Gary. Over the years working with Gary on a professional basis at Pioneer, we became quite good friends and I could always count on Gary providing me with different perspectives on life and more than a few good laughs at our usual lunch time gab fests. I am extremely grateful to have had the honour to call him my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Deepest sympathies to the Minns and Coley families.  We fondly remember Gary's incredible knowledge of all things electronic.  Gary was taken far too young. Sending warm hugs to all of you at this very difficult and sad time.

My deepest condolences to Gary's family whom he loved so much. I am glad that I had him as a friend and co- worker for 24 years. God bless.

Very sad that Gary has left us too soon. Glad I had him as a friend and co-worker for 25 years. He was always cheerful and helpful. He loved his family very much.

Gary was a kind and gentle person who was taken too soon.  Rest in peace my dear friend. You will be greatly missed and never forgotten.  My deepest condolences to his family.

I worked with Gary at Pioneer for 19 years and remember what a fine gentleman he was. I am so sorry for your loss.

Shocked and saddened by Gary's sudden death. Over the 25 years that I have known and worked with him at Pioneer, Gary was always a loyal, dedicated, and hard working. He was well liked by all members. Pioneer has surely lost a trooper and the rest of us have lost a good friend. My condolences and prayers to his family. May his Soul rest in peace.

Gary was a nice guy, a true gentleman. I'll never forget his smile. I'll never forget the days when we were working at LA.

Gary was a friend and a co-worker of mine for over 28 years. Dedication, loyalty, integrity, good humored, are just a few of the many quality traits he possessed.  Always patient and always willing to share his experiences, he taught me much.  I always valued his candor and insight.  Taken far to early  - I will truly miss him.  God rest his soul.

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Please accept my deepest condolences, he will not be forgotten.

I worked with Gary over a total of about 12 years at Pioneer.  He was a great co-worker and more importantly, a really good person.  My condolences to Gary's family and friends.

I worked with Gary for 8 yrs, i have to say that he was a hell of a guy, always pleasant to talk to, always willing to listen to others and help in any way he possibly can. I miss his favorite word (YELLOW) this is how he answers the phone. What a loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
R.I.P my friend, until we meet again.

Gary was a very nice man who always had a smile and a kind word to greet you with. He will be missed.

Gary will leave behind a plentitude of lasting memories, both as a co-worker and for many years after.  This is truly a tragic loss and my condolences go out to all his family.

My condolences to Gary's family.  Gary was a great guy, he always had great and fun conversations.

I worked with Gary for about 17 years at Pioneer, he was always the one to help, a true gentleman........I am shocked and saddened by your loss. He was such a fine person. Condolences to all the family and friends Gary had (Of which he had many)  He will be missed by all.

With our deepest sympathy, our hearts goes out to you and your family at this difficult time.

He will truly be missed. I worked with Gary for just shy of 10 years and you could ALWAYS count on him for help, advice, a funny story or just a well-timed kind word. Rest peacefully my friend. To his family (he would absolutely light up when talking about his nieces and nephews), please accept my deepest condolences.

Sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
