Feel very lucky to have met Gary and wish that I had spent more time with him. Such a nice person and a pleasure to know. Not just because he is a Knapman ! My thoughts are with the family.
So sad to hear. Always enjoyed chatting with Gary through the years at Port Colborne Cruze nites. Always friendly and real gentleman and I’m a Chevy guy. Rest in peace my friend.
Had the opportunity to meet Gary summer of 2023 at a Mopar BBQ.
Wonderful chat and great smile.
Sincerest condolences to the family.
