We have some wonderful, cherished memories with this gentle giant, Gary Boothroyd.. Beers and burgers @ Firehouse, bonfires, and game nights. He would do anything for folks, having a huge heart. Loved his wife, Jacque, children, grandchildren, etc...and his pets as well. There was an empty place in our lives when the family moved to Utah, but was glad to see them several times in Utah. So sorry for your loss. Peace & love
So saddled to hear the news of my old friend of almost 60 years. Gary and I were neighbors in Lakewood in the early 60's and I have nothing but good memories and know Gary to have been very pleasant, even if times were not so perfect. We were in the same kindergarten class and we were also friends. I reconnected recently again with Gary and was hoping to see him soon. God Bless you and Rest in Peace
We are so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. We enjoyed spending Father’s Day weekend with Gary at the races. We always enjoyed the times that Gary joined us at the races and we have some great memories. Rest In Peace Gary and condolences to the family and his friends!
You will truly be missed by one and all Gary.
You will be truly and honestly missed my friend RIP
The world has lost one of the most humble, giving, and amazing humans. Gary touched my life in ways that will forever stay with me. Selfless doesn’t give him justice! The world is a better place because of you Gary! Your spirit will always remain
So sorry to hear this. Steve has very fond memories of going to jackpot Nevada with Gary. He was a good friend. Will miss him.
Gary was a wonderful part of our lives for a long. My dad and Gary were best friends for a long time. Now they can continue in heaven. Love and miss you both.
