Sharman, Gary

Aug 27, 2014

We are so sad to tell you that Gary Sharman passed away peacefully on August 23, 2014 at the age of 69.  He faced his death with courage and dignity and his unique sense of humour.  He was surrounded by love from his family.  Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at KGH emergency especially Patti, who was such a blessing to us.   He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Penny and his daughters Jen (Chris Mercer) and Beth (Mike Bastos), four amazing grandchildren, Jesse, Hayden, Destiny and Gage and his brother Lanny (Shirley and their daughter Michelle and her family).

Gary will be cremated and there will be a celebration of his life at the Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area Outdoor Centre located at 1641 Perth Road (Division Street), Kingston (just north of Division and 401) on August 28th, 2014; ceremony will start at 2:00 p.m., followed by light refreshments.   No flowers please - Gary hated funeral flowers.  For those who wish, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation or U.H.K.F.  Kingston General Hospital would be appreciated.  Please feel free to dress casually.  Anyone who knew Gary knows what he thought about suits and ties.  In fact, you know he would think plaid or flannel would be really fitting.   Arrangements entrusted to the Gordon F. Tompkins Funeral Home – Township Chapel.   Sharing memories at www.gftompkins-township.ca
