Gary was so passionate for life. "to seek, explore, smell and taste," he liked to experience it all. He embraced each day and really appreciated every nuance of nature, of custom and culture, of sight and sound and his place in this beautiful world. His adventures took him to many places but home was the Bulkley Valley which he adored and where he spent many happy times.

we are born again,
What we do today
