I am so sorry to hear this news. Garry was a great guy and always very friendly to everyone he met. He made me feel welcome the first time I joined in on a cruise, as he did with any new or regular people.
I will miss him at these cruises. Nancy and family please accept my deepest condolences.

Very sad news. Bish was awesome! Probably the nicest, classiest friendliest men I ever knew. Always smiling and always positive. He was a True Corvette man but over all just a good person. This is a very sad day. My condolences to Nancy and the rest of his family.

Mr Bish you will be, missed.

We also know you will be in heaven doing the sun dance for us on cruise days.

Gary was/is an awesome gentleman. He and Nancy were quasi inseparable at events and I'm sure in life as well We have lost an elder-statesman of the group. You will truly be missed Gary.
