Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the online funeral service for my good friend, Dr. Gary Willis. The priest was correct in using the phrase, “Gary does inspire…” Gary’s scintillating intellect and love of humanity were how I will remember him. We would speak about ideas and often not arrive at a resolution. Yet, I would feel good as it was flattering that someone as smart as Gary, would attentively listen to my views. I’ll miss his presence.on this earth. In lieu of flowers. a donation will be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Dr. Willis helped me through a very difficult time in life about 20 years ago. I am forever grateful and still hear his voice when I am dealing with the problems that come up in our lives from time to time. I do hope his family and friends find comfort in knowing his wisdom,empathy and guidance continue to help those who were lucky enough to see him in his professional capacity.
