Gary Ballantine

July 16, 1943 – February 22, 2023

Gary's lifelong friend, Phyllis Connell Poulin sent the following words of remembrance:

Gary passed peacefully with his family around him on February 22, 2023.  The photo below is from Gary's Celebration of Life service one year ago. 

Gary was a wonderful person. We grew up together and remained friends until the end.  He was married to a wonderful woman, Kathy and they had one son Nicholas.  They were blessed with one granddaughter, Norah who was the light of Gary and Kathy’s life.

Gary lived in Moro Bay, California and his greatest pleasure was surfing.  He was an amazing surfer and I used to go and watch him from the beach and was amazed.  

He was always happy and did a lot for his church assisting in Youth Programs. 

I picture Gary surfing on the crystal sea now.

He is greatly missed….

Blessings,

Phyllis Connell Poulin
