Gary’s Obituary
Gary passed away peacefully, with his wife Wendy and daughter Lisa at his side, at the Brantford General Hospital on March 5, 2021. He was 66 years of age. Gary is survived by his loving wife of 42 years Wendy, special daughter Lisa (Matt), grandsons Benjamin and Jameson, parents Arnie and Betty Read, sister Bev (Jack), little brother Paul. Predeceased by big brother Doug (Dorothy).Gary kept a special place in his heart for all of his nieces and nephews. Family in Montreal will sorely miss Gary at this years’ annual fishing get together.
Gary was born and raised in Hamilton’s west end later attending Westdale High School. A 37 year career at McMaster University followed where Gary achieved his Steamfitter certification. He was an accomplished musician, creative artist and antiquarian. Gary’s first live gig at the tender age of fifteen went down at the Jockey Club with a local country band who had to sneak Gary in. Gary worked with many fine musicians playing stand-up bass, drums and guitar most notably with lifelong friends Barry and Mike. A move to Paris Ontario saw Gary and Wendy immersed in local art and cultural events hosting shows at their home featuring local art and artists. Gary’s creativity was endless, serving quiet inspiration to family and friends. Gary’s infamous man cave, set in his beloved garden, was a coveted gathering place. Gary’s fine sense of humor and eternal optimism were infectious. And, oh yes, Gary’s passion for the Bruins Nation was real. Special thanks to the Doctors, Nurses and Staff at Brantford General.
Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Dwayne D. Budgell Funeral Home. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and the subsequent restrictions on gathering, a celebration of Gary’s life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Lung Cancer Canada (www.lungcancercanada.ca/Donate-Now.aspx).
