Dear Waldie family. Our thoughts are with you during this time. Gary was such an awesome guy! Kim has fond memories of Gary teaching her to ski many many years ago and enjoyed those times. I spent time with Gary on and off over the years and this often sharing stories of waterskiing. He once gave me an old ski of his some years ago, which i still have today. He and Murray Saywell both taught me to ski. I guy that had so much to give and spent many many hours on the water. Thank you for the contribution to NPWSC. RIP Gary, rest easy. Damo & Kim

Dear Rebecca and Bryce, sorry to hear of the passing of Gary. It was nice to catch up with Gary at Mums funeral in April, albeit briefly. He was very proud of his family especially his grand-daughters. Gary was telling me about the girls pony, I see Rebecca has passed her love of horses to her daughters. Thoughts are with you at this sad time.
