Have fond memories of working with Gary and Elmer the Safety Elephant. We had so much fun every time we visited a school with this wonderful pachyderm. It was such a marvellous program and Gary contributed greatly to its success and to many other safety initiatives in the city. Will try to upload a picture from 1973 that will illustrate the pride we had in creating a safer community for our kids. Don't forget to look both ways before you cross the street!

Sending our deepest condolences from the Cumming Family. Uncle Gary was always such a gentleman, always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say. When Bill and I got married, Aunt Joyce and Uncle Gary allowed us to use their house for our wedding photos. We were so excited and now have so many beautiful pictures of spending our special day with them. We also have a wedding video that we try to watch every year on our Anniversary. Uncle Gary was in the video and we will cherish that even more now every time we watch it. Lots of love and please take care!

Memories are the legacy of love. Gary played a big role in a special part of such a well-lived life.
Your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
Grief is the last act of love we can give to those we loved.
Where there is deep grief, there was also a great love.
