Gary Gallant
1946-2022
It is with sadness that the family of Gary Gallant of
Oromocto, NB, announces his passing at Victoria General Hospital in
Halifax, NS, on May 3, 2022, at the age of 75. Born in Saint John, NB,
on October 10, 1946, he was the husband of Leona
Gallant.
Gary leaves behind his loving wife, Leona, of 40 years; his
daughter Michelle (Brian) McDonough of Oromocto, NB; grandchildren
Karissa, Dakota, and Harmony; step-mother Bertha Gallant of
Fredericton; siblings Nancy Gallant (Pierre) and Norma Jean (Carter)
Bostick, of Fredericton, NB; brother-in-law, Leo Kolijn and
sister-in-law Donelda Kolijn, of Noonan, NB; and many nieces and
nephews. Gary was predeceased by his parents Norman and Rita Gallant
as well as his sister Wanda Burden.
Gary served in the Canadian Armed Forces as an administrator,
serving in Germany, Cyprus, and Egypt. He retired in 1989 after 25
years of service. Gary was then employed with the Canadian Corps of
Commissionaires where he served for 23 years in various positions in
both Fredericton and the Oromocto area.
Gary had a passion for model trains and watching movies with
his grandson, Dakota. Gary was the happiest when all of his
grandchildren were around, especially when everyone was together for
their annual tree decorating at Christmas time. Gary also had a
special place in his heart for his cat, Hope.
The family would like to give a special thank you to all of
the doctors and nurses at the Victoria General Hospital for their
exceptional care and support over the last month and a half. Your care
for him was very much appreciated.
There will be no visitation at Gary’s request. A memorial
service will be held from Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Nasonworth
on Monday, May 9, 2022 at 2:00 pm. The Rev. Canon Albert Snelgrove
will officiate. Interment will follow in St. Mary the Virgin Anglican
Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Holy Trinity Church or
the Oromocto Legion would be appreciated by the family.
