These have been five long years. Still expect to see you in the window of your seafront flat when I pass by, in Desmonds for coffee and with the Old Gits for lunch and of course on stage. Sending everlasting love, Roz, who will always be, Garys sister. XX

Often in our thoughts. Dearly missed.

I can't believe you have been gone 2 years today.... it still feels like yesterday! If it's possible I think I miss you more as time goes on, it just doesn't feel real that you are no longer with us. I miss your humour, your wisdom and the best Dad a son could ask for. I hope you're resting well Dad xxx

The wonderful years that I spent with Gary in Blend SA shall never be forgotten, what a wonderful friend and person he was God Bless and look after you Allan farmer

Can imagine you banging out a beat on a different drum today Gary. Thinking of you and your family on your birthday. Xx

What a creative brain you had. Will never forget your time in South Africa with Blend. A great comedy and music talent. RIP

Thinking back to when I was 7 and you were 11, we sat in front of the fire, on the hearth rug, and you helped me learn to play chess. It is probably too small a memory for you to have remembered, but it has stayed with me always. As will your patience, sense of humour, wit and love for your little cousin. All better now, love Hillary xx

How I will miss Gary. He was just full of talent with his wonderful sense of humour, his impeccable taste in music and his amazing drumming skills. We will miss him at our Old Gits lunches but will ALWAYS be remembered. I feel privileged to have been a friend to such an inspirational guy. Gone too soon x

To Gary, Even though we are all in our twilight years, words cannot fully convey innermost thoughts and feelings upon losing a dear friend. Our association goes back to 1971 when our faith, mutual respect and inspiration combined to form a monumental music project together. Four young Lowestoft lads following the same dream. I thank you personally for your belief in that dream and your belief in the people around you. Without exception that band was a milestone turning point in my life and something I am immensely proud of to this day. In a short time we travelled many miles and shared stages with many top name artistes, earning their respect also. Even though we often went years without seeing each other, that camaraderie lived on and always seemed like ‘only yesterday’ when we occasionally met up. I have had the privilege of working alongside a great musician and a great guy. From my heart I say........Thank you. John

Treasured childhood memories of dear cousin Gary, always drumming! So glad you got to live your dream, so sad the dream ended way too soon. Will never forget you, Rest in peace Xx

Garry it was a pleasure working with you , such a lovely, careing man you will be missed xx

A good mate for 50 years, a funny, strong lovely man whos passion for music was infectious, his skills brilliant, he will always be around in fact I can hear him now Keeping Time, xx Dave

Lift me up each day, even though you've gone away, your Spirit dances in my mind, in my heart, and in my soul. The life you lived, The Love you left, The one's you've touched I won't forget, you give me strength in time of need.

'And we shared good times, through the years In my heart and soul, you're here with me. I hear you whisper in the wind, piece by piece my heart will mend. The dreams you've shared will carry on here and now, and beyond
'And the world will smile, for you were here, the gifts you brought we'll hold them dear, I'll take you with me, till we meet again.

'And We'll share good times from now on, in my heart you live on, with me.

What an amazing man. He would welcome us as if he had known us for years whenever we visited. We will miss you. Always remember the good times. Rob, Alecia and James

My dear and very special friend Gary. You were taken too soon. Im going to miss you so much. Goodnight and godbless. Until we meet again xxx

What a splendid human being you were Gary. Even when you were battling your own demons you made me laugh and offered food for thought. Mike and I will always remember you for your talent and your humour and your kindness. Rest In Peace my friend.

What an amazing guy spent many nights laughing at Gary's sketches at Bar Bonanza Johannesburg
One of the funniest I've got Lion and Hansa with the cellar cask full of booze with his mini skirt on
RIP mate Colin Reader

My dearest Gary, my heart is aching! You were taken from us all far to early, we had a special Bond that never went away. My heart is breaking for our children, Lee and Natalie, but the LOVE that you gave them will always keep them strong as will my Love.
Will miss you immensley Special man.

My wonderful friend has left us and I will always remember our time together. Those wonderful years in Blend when we were as close as family. God bless and look after you Gary your memory will always be in my heart. Love Allan Farmer

My beloved brother Gary, I have no words to express just how much you've meant to me over the years and how sad it was to see you, and your children, suffering in the last few months. Be assured that I will watch over them while you are gone, till we meet again. Roz, who will always be Garys' sister. x

So many hearts aching with your departure. I really am so very blessedto have been welcomed into your family and I thank you so greatfully for raising such an amazing son for me to love

I think that 'light a candle' is a rather fitting tribute to you Dad as heaven will be shining brightly. I am sure by now you have set up the grand stage and are ready to go on... There really are no words that can explain how much of a void you have left in my life, that feeling of.. 'there's just something not right', 'there's something missing'. You truly were my hero and I will miss you so long as I have a breath left in my body. I hope that you have found some old friends up there and you are living it up pain free! Love you x

Just such a lovely man will miss you seeing you in Joseph Conrads R. I. P Gary x
