Garfield ?Gary? Thomas Leslie
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Garfield ?Gary? Thomas Leslie Awrey on July 26, 2014 at the age of 81.
Left to mourn his passing are his loving wife June, his son Kevin, daughter Shannon and grandson Nicholas. He is also survived by his sisters Yvonne Rogers (Stan) and Darlene Awrey.
He was born and raised in Outlook, Saskatchewan. During his early years, Gary worked in the oil patch in southern Alberta. In 1958, he moved to Medicine Hat where he worked in the trucking industry. After a move to Calgary, he met his wife June and they married in 1962. In 1969, he and his family moved to Kamloops. He continued his work in the tranportation industry as a sales representative with Chapman?s Transport, then with Beaver Trucking. Gary then worked as a bus driver for the Kamloops School District. After retirement, Gary along with June became avid golfers and played regularly with friends at McArthur Park and Mt. Paul golf courses. They also enjoyed travelling south to Palm Springs and other destinations.
The family wishes to thank the dedicated and caring staff of Ponderosa Lodge.
There will be no service by request.
No flowers by request. If friends desire, they may make a contribution to a charity of their choice in Gary?s name.
