To my uncle Garry, to the man that all my friends knew as the guy with the “cool basement”, to the man that snuck me drinks in Mexico when we went on family vacations, to the man that came and rescued mom and I when we tried to drive across the ditch in Regina and got stuck, you were one hell of a man and I’m sure gonna miss you and your outstanding hospitality. Rest peacefully Garry with a drink in hand ♥️
