I knew Gary since he was 12 years old when he was added to a national junior coaching school for table tennis. All the other 11 boys were older than 16, and we wondered who this little fellow was. We soon learnt he had great skills, and was clearly just a natural sportsman. I followed his cricket achievements as well. We were shocked to hear of his passing. My wife, Margaret, and I offer sincere condolences to Gary's sister, Glenda, and family.

Garry was always smiling and had a wicked sense of Humor. He patronized the local Caltex on Long Drive & always had a yarn and spill humor. He was proud of his electric bike and always had a chat when I walk on Tamaki Drive near the Kohi Cafe. Our heart felt condolences and our prayers will be with the Mrs Williams and Guy. RIP Big Fellow! Kains U S
