Gary was raised in Economy and though he lived in different
communities and provinces over the years, he was always drawn back to
his beloved Economy where he and Colleen lived and raised their
family. After years of living in Truro and Dartmouth, Gary and Colleen
spent their summers and final years of his life in
Economy.
Gary met his wife in Halifax when he was in the hospital for
a broken wrist and Colleen was working as a nurse; they married only
eight months later.
Gary earned his Bachelor of Arts from St. Mary’s
University andwas proud that both of his children followed in his
footsteps earning their first degrees at
SMU.
Gary enjoyed spending time in the woods, particularly at
Economy Point. He loved to sing and was an active member of the United
Church choir in Economy. Gary enjoyed spending time with his family
playing cards, and tending to his large «organic» garden,
though he confessed he did not know he was being trendy –
that’s just how he grew his garden. Gary had a boisterous
and infectious laugh and loved to tell stories from the old
days.
