Wonderful memories of a beloved Uncle and friend who was always there with a story, cool drink or word of advice for his nephews, especially after the loss of brother and father Alan 15 years ago. Garry lived a life of service, always helping others in need, and giving what he could. From humble beginnings, a wonderful love story with Merriilyne and a beautiful extended family. A patriotic, loyal and well read raconteur! A large life lived to a courageous end,
Beutifull words ,Steven.He loved his chats with you too.

I have fond and vivid memories of Garry as the slightly larrikin brother of my more conservative Dad. Without a doubt, the best Uncle a man could have. Always ready to greet you with a smile, a cold drink and slightly exaggerated story. I loved spending Easter at his house, having adventures with our cousins and going to the Stawell Gift. I will miss him greatly. Much love and sympathy to his wonderful family, Merrilyne, Sally, John and Anthony and their spouses and children.

Deepest sympathy & sincere condolnces to Merrilyne, Sally, John, Anthony and the extended family and close friends. Whilst l have not been in close contact with Garry since leaving Ballarat many years ago, l have very fond memories of him and his friendly smile, sharp wit and engaging conversation. He always expressed a genuine interest in what l was doing and with my military service l had many a story to share. We usually caught up over the many Christmas gatherings over the years when l dropped in to Aunt Norma’s. He epitomised all the quakities of a true Aussie character and will long be rememberd as a bloody good bloke and a bit of a larrikin and we will miss him deeply. Much love and best wishes from Gary, Anabele, Emily & Brandon
Thankyou Gary,yes a true Aussie,what you saw was what he was.

Deepest Sympathy and Condolences to Merrilyne and the family. He was a great man, loved by all that crossed his path. We remember so many happy times spent together since meeting the Trafalgar tour back in 1996 and kept in touch with a small reunion every year, with four other couples, either in Victoria or NSW.
With Love John and Vi Pittorino (the Hungarian Princess). We will miss him so much.
You were both very dear to him,he loved our annual get togethers
An asset to the town and wider community of Stawell. He loved people and was always open to involvement with them. After watching his funeral – a wonderful celebration of his life provided with love and wonderful memories – I realize how sad it is that we could not be there. We have been friends since Primary School at 502. We kept in contact and it was great to hear his news and reports on every possible facet of life in the Stawell community. He was so good to so many people and Stawell and Illawarra will not be the same without him. Merrilyn’s care for him in his latter years was so wonderful and his family’s support was amazing. Thank you. Written also on behalf also of Sonia and Kerri
A wonderfull tribute Bill,he loved his town & its people.Thankyou so much for your care & kindnesses over these months.

Thankyou dear friends.You we’re our wonderfull backstops lat year,never forgotten.
To Merrilyne and family our deepest sympathy . Friendship came easily with Garry because of his great interest in people. It’s how I reckon Garry saw it – kind acts give back forever in friendship, story, ideas, then every day was a new adventure to be treasured and re-told. I first that generous spirit 25 years ago personally and it’s never forgotten. I just hope to have returned the gift and squared the enormous debt. It was my family’s honour to have had the chance to thank Garry ourselves for that and everything else. Last of the good guys yes and with an adventure, a story, a life and a family to be proud of. A mate who will be dearly missed. Adam, Erica, Della, Acacia and Gretel Blake
Thankyou Adam,he considered you a great friend.Your last visit with your 4 beutifull girls made him very happy.
