We were shocked when Mark Phoned to inform us about his dad, Gar was such a special friend and will alway's be remembered, we travelled on so many golfing trips together to places in Great Britain and North America where he spent a period of his life playing hockey. we grew to have a great respect for one another, he was a no nonsense kind of a guy, honest, talented, an athlete with a soft friendly way of being firm, and loved his family so very much. Peggy I pray that God will grant you a special peace I will never forget my special friend and your Husband Gar Vasey

Dear Peggy and Family We just returned from Florida and are so saddened to hear of Gar's passing. While in Florida, Rob and I were just saying we need to get in and see him. I remember the last time I saw him, about a month ago, so happy and smiling. Such a wonderful man, I (Bev) will certainly miss seeing his smiling face. I don't see any details regarding service. Will there be one? Our sincere condolences to the family. Beverley and Rob
