Gary was born in Victoria, where he lived and worked at E & N in Qualicum Beach and Victoria, BC Forest Products, City of Victoria, Brown Bros. Property Management. In 1999, Gary, Wendy and Snowball moved to Courtenay.

Gary enjoyed playing the piano, gardening and skiing, at Forbidden Plateau and at Mount Washington. Gary and Wendy purchased a condo in the Alpine Village in 1988 and enjoyed many happy times with friends. Gary had a passion for trains and sports cars, which included racing at Western Speedway and Mt. Douglas Hill Climb in his younger years. It was through Victoria Motor Sports Club that he met Wendy (Haynes), his wife of almost fifty years. Their latest sports car, a 2002 Porsche Boxster, inspired them both to become members of PCA V.I.

Gary is survived by his loving wife Wendy, who shared his fondness for skiing and sports cars. He also leaves behind his beloved Balinese cat, Sonja, his sister-in-law Barbara Baker, cousins Winston Jackson, Christine Fleming and Steve Woodley, as well as many friends all over the island.
