He is also survived by other loving family members and friends.

    Karole, Dana, and Megan, our thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. I know nothing anybody can say or do will bring comfort to your hearts, but we are praying God will give you peace and comfort not only now but in the days, weeks and months ahead.

    Garry and I played racquetball together many years ago. We would also talk oilfield when we seen each other. I hadn’t seen him in awhile but I had been thinking thinking of him lately. I always enjoyed seeing and chatting with him. He was a good man and will be missed. I spoke with several of his oilfield friends and everyone talked about him being a Great Guy. Prayers to the family.
    Bob.
