Gary Parsons – February 17, 1940 – October 25, 2011

It is with heavy hearts we say good-bye to Gary. He passed away at the TBRHSC on October 25, 2011 with his family by his side.

Gary was born in Thunder Bay. He worked for the CPR in Ignace and Winnipeg for many years, then at the Dryden Mill until his retirement. Gary loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting and snowmobiling. He also had a great affection for all animals, especially dogs.

Gary is survived by his loving wife Beverley of 47 years, and two daughters, Kim of Calgary and Sheila. He is also survived by two granddaughters, Rachel (Tristan), and Toni; two great-grandchildren Masaya and James, and good friend Mac MacLellan, all of Dryden.

There will be no visitation as cremation has taken place. A private family service will be held at a later date.

If friends so desire donations may be made to the Second Chance Pet Network through the Stevens Funeral Homes, P.O. Box 412, Dryden, ON P8N 2Z1. Condolences may be emailed to sympathycard@shaw.ca subject: Parsons
