Garry Francis Read

9 Sep 1952 - 1 Dec 2025

Tribute

Our beautiful, brave Garry is now at peace after a courageous battle with motor neurone disease. Though the illness took so much, it could never take our love for him or the treasured memories he leaves behind.

Dearly loved and loving husband of Julie.

Cherished father and father-in-law of Adrian and Kate, Damian and Bec (dec), Allie and Jay, and Courtney.

Adored Grandad of Sienna, Valentino, Emerson, Nate, Charli, Gabe, Jude, River and Taylah, each of whom brought him immeasurable joy.

Garry will also be fondly remembered for the special bond he shared with his loyal mate Freddie, who kept vigil by his side and always announced a visitor.

Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there remains a trail of cherished memories.

Forever in our hearts, never forgotten.

Now reunited with his faithful companion, Lola.
