Garry Oulds of Chatham passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on Thursday March 24th, 2022. Beloved husband of the late Mary Jane Oulds (2020). Loving father of Larry & Kris Oulds, Terry & Shayla Oulds and Jennifer & Kevin Sabourin, all of Chatham. Special Papa to Eric (Jossie) and Ally Oulds, Austin (Shea) and Taylor (Avery) Oulds, Nate (Sarah), Sydney (Brendan) and Payton (Jake) Sabourin. Dear brother of Brenda (Clem) Vilandre and Rick (Noreen) Oulds. Special brother in law to Roberta & Clare Curtis, Audrey & John Bourdeau and Sandi & Dennis Gerrard. Dad was also the “fun” uncle to many nieces and nephews. The original “Ouldsy” was born 77 years ago and was an excellent athlete who played in so many hockey & baseball leagues at the same time it was hard to tell which team he was playing on. Dad continued to play competitive baseball well into his mid-seventies. As dad “slowed down” he and mom found great joy in travelling and attending every one of their grandkids dance recitals, ball & hockey games and track meets. The two of them could be found at a ball park every night of the week with their baseball buddy John Schram. Dad also loved the golf course and especially spending time with his long time golfing and breakfast buddies….you know who you are. Dad was able to enjoy 22 years of retirement from Union Gas and he and mom lived for each other every day until Mom’s passing. He has missed her dearly and will finally be reunited with her to be together forever. Family and friends are invited to the Alexander & Houle Funeral Home 245 Wellington St W. Chatham, 519-352-2710 on Monday March 28th, 2022 with visiting from 5pm to 8pm. A private family service will be held. Cremation has taken place. Friends planning on an expression of remembrance are asked to consider Chatham Minor Baseball Association as he spent many hours at the baseball park.
