Dear Joan,
So very sorry for your loss of your beloved Gary.
I will always remember Gary´s Tours, the bus trips to New Plymouth to watch the rugby they were such great fun, full stories and laughs.
Was an insight to small town living for this city girl, I never felt out of place, even when I wore my Canterbury rugby jersey on the bus to watch the game against Taranaki. I took the jibes the banter which was given in good spirit, even from my man, Davey Jones, who jumped in that bandwagon.
So many good memories all those years ago.
He was a friendly face with a huge smile that made anyone feel welcome and appreciated.
He will be sorely missed by you all.
Thoughts and prayers from us both x

Condolences to the Vincent family on the loss of such a lovely man. Never had a bad word to say about anyone. Remember him fondly back in my cycling and rugby days
Rest easy Garry

Deepest condolences to Joan, Kath and family.
Gary was always incredibly supportive of us youngsters in cycling, welcoming us with warmth and encouragement. The blue van was always ready to take us to events, and he never hesitated to offer a bed the night before we travelled.
Thank you for the difference you made in our lives.

Longtime friend of Evelyn & Ian.
Joan and Family, our thoughts are with you all.
