To Shirley and the extended Saunders/ Hamilton families. I was saddened to hear of Gary’s passing, he was certainly a man among men for sure. We both attended trade school in Grand Falls an ended up hiring on with IOC at the same time. He was always a pleasure to work with and had that unique “smirk”. I am sure he loss will be felt immensely, Sending our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.

Shirley, Nicole and Tiffany,
I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. He was such a kind man with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. We shared many laughs at PCS over the 11 years we worked together.
On many occasions "Sneaky Saunders" hid in the shadows during night shifts to scare his prey. After we were done laughing, I would tell him he was so quiet, I thought her could hover. No one ever heard him coming.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. He truly was one of a kind, a quiet, calm presence and I am so glad to have known him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Shirley. Mary and I were saddened to hear of Gary’s passing. There are many ways to describe him but Salt of the Earth fits him best. It was a pleasure to work with him over the years and when you were lucky enough to have him as a partner on any project you knew he was going to do his share and then some. He took pride in his work ethic and I’ve never seen him mad about anything. Always a smile and quick witted to keep the room light but smart enough to solve any issues. He will be missed and will be mentioned in a lot of conversations going forward. Take care

Shirley, Nicole, Tiffany & Families, The Saunders Family & the Hamilton Family; we were so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. We had the privilege of meeting Gary & Shirley shortly after moving to Sussex 30 years ago. Gary was so quiet but devilish, loved to laugh, play golf, work on any project, a hardworking man who above everything else loved his family with his whole heart. A good friend to all, and a gentle soul who faced his illness with the quiet strength that he faced life. Shirley, we wish we were home to give you a big hug. Our deepest condolences on your great loss. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. RIP Gary, until we meet again.
