Hook, Garry
Posted Aug 18, 2017 | 4:38 AM
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Garry Hook on August 14th, 2017. Garry leaves behind a grieving wife, Sue, and their daughter Tinalee and family. He also leaves behind daughter Heather, son Reg, daughter Roxene, daughter Shereen and their families, brothers Rog, Rick, Harley, and their families, and loving sisters Mae, Arti, and their families. Garry was predeceased by father Reg, mother Bertha and Don Duncan, as well as brother Jim, sister Connie, and Jimmy.
Garry in his youth was a calf roper and rode bulls and broncs, which he loved. In later years he was a rodeo contractor, and started the Kamloops Indoor Rodeo. He never missed watching the rodeo in Vegas on TV, or the bull riding. He so loved raising cattle and raising thoroughbred race horses, and racing them. It didn’t matter what endeavour he attempted, he was successful through hard work and dedication. He was a very loyal and trustworthy friend, so anyone that knew Garry always think of him as living in the hearts of the so many people he touched. As we all know, nothing loved is ever lost and Garry was always loved so very much.
Special thanks to Dr. Howie for being our doctor and such a special person. Thank you to Dana Levere for bringing Garry to Ridgeview which became our home for almost 3 years. Thank you to Shawn for being so special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the staff and caregivers at Ridgeview for the care Garry received. Thank you for all the calls from so many people and thank you to Janet and Steve at Save On Foods for all your caring. Thank you Kim at Alternatives for the care you took of my husband through this journey. Thank you to my so dear friend Marti for the love and support. Thank you to my family for all the visits and phone calls of love. A special thank you to such a dear friend Marv Kempston.
Funeral Services to be announced at a later date by daughter, Shereen Hook
