    Garry was one of the best bosses I ever had. He had a big heart and generous spirit. My thoughts go out to everyone who will feel this loss.

    I can’t say how sad I am to learn of this. He was a great boss, a wonderful teacher, and absolutely passionate about books. He always made us laugh during our lab shifts, even when we’d been sewing pamphlets for hours and he made us redo them… twice ;). I will always have fond memories of our time in the lab and he’ll definitely be missed.
