Such sad news . Scorch was well loved by everyone that knew him and had a wonderful sense of humor . Fly high Gary . ❤
Uncle Gary was a gentle giant, with a huge heart and an infectious, whole body laugh. He loved to tell jokes or trick us as kids, and always made time for anyone who needed him. He will be sadly missed here but geez…. He’s going to get a huge welcome from Aunt Pat (she adored her hubby). Sending love to the family as they say their goodbyes. RIP Uncle Gary 💜🙏🏻
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s hard to lose a parent no matter their age.
We will miss you Uncle Scorch. You are always be in our hearts 💕

We are so sorry for your loss Bob, Jim and family. We are unable to be there but our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We use to have such a great time when your dad and mom came up to first Grassy and then to our camp Twin J. Your dad always stole the last piece of pie when we had them in for supper.
Thinking of you both Bob and Jim and your families at this time. Garfield was a wonderful man and truly loved my aunt Pat! Hugs to you all, cousin Sharon nee Robinson, James
