Gary Silliker wrote a sympathy message

“I remember Gary as the fellow who welcomed me to Newfoundland when I was posted to CFS St John's in 1993. He enhanced my knowledge of Newfoundland and we shared many memorable tunes together. Gary also introduced me to his family out around the bay , where I quickly learned that his aunts and uncles were now to be addressed, by me, as "aunt" and "uncle" as he considered me as 'adopted.' I shall cherish his kindness to me and my family . Remembering happier times.”
