1955 - 2012

Tearfully we regret to announce that Gary Van Dyke passed away surrounded by the love of his family on February 5, 2012 at the age of 56 years.

Gary is survived by his loving wife of 36 years Leslie, his daughter Stefanie (Rob) Howell, son Scott (Erica); cherished grandchildren Brianna and Nathan whom adored their Papa. Gary's dear parents Tom and Helen are also left to mourn his passing, along with his brothers and one sister; Terry (Sheila), Mickey (Kate) and Barbie (Ron).

Gary was very proud of his flooring company and very grateful for his many friends that he made through the Street Rod Association and the Vintage Car Club.

  “I first met Gary through my contracting business. Not only was he an excellent floor layer but a joy to have around the job site. There was always stories, jokes and a good laugh. Gary introduced me to the Vintage Car Club and our friendship continued. I will miss stopping to see what he was working on and keeping up-to-date with his projects. Gary was a good friend.
  Jerry and Vicky Wallin”

  “Your husband, dad, grandfather was a great guy, I went to school with Gary through our great and memorable days @ NorKam and after graduation talked to him many times around Kamloops. He always had a smile on his face, cordial and always had a good story. He was a great man, friend and sadly missed - Pete Lahucik, Toronto Norkam Grad Class of '73”
