KAYE,BARRY AND FAMILY. IN THIS TIME ,WE HOPE YOUR MEMORIES GET YOU AND THE FAMILY THROUGH YOUR LOSS.YOU ARE ALL IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. GARRY WILL BE MISSED BY ALL. R.I.P. GARRY
I’m lost for words so can only imagine how Kaye, Barry, Michelle and Krissie are feeling. Garry was such a valued friend to Grubby and myself. I now know why Garry struggled to speak at Grubby’s funeral. I only hope that Garry knew how much we appreciated his friendship and that he and Grubby are having a drink together and talking crap again. As Garry would say “it is what it is”. Goodbye dear friend ❤️
Deepest sympathies to family and friends I will always have fond memories of going to the different racetracks with my father Graham and (Mr rogers ) Gary and Barry and the peeling onion day haha .
Barry Kaye and family I have great memories back in the 70s and 80s you buying trade ins from Grand Prix nights at the trots money valley your 50th in Nissan showroom and organising trip to tiger woods with Barry you were a real go getter you will missed by many because you were the real deal
My Deepest condolences to Kaye, Barry, Michelle, Krissie and Families. My Favourite client Garry whilst I would cut his hair he would give me his wisdom and inspiration, but also show kindness humor and the ability to uplift anyone around him. I loved our chats and will miss our monthly haircut
RIP Garry
Bazza, Michelle, Kaye, Krissie, Bev and wider family so sorry to hear about Garry but he would want everyone to bond together and be strong, raise a Crown Lager in his honour and share all the wonderful stories and interactions you had with him – there are many I am sure. He loved his trotters, motor sport, Yarrawonga, and helping people where ever he could and however he could. His enthusiasm for life was infectious and I only know one person with energy levels close to himself – Bazza Rogers – my great mate; Michelle I will always remember Garry and Barry setting Johnno and I up for your 21st Birthday Cake surprise :-), secretly we loved doing it for you. Thank you Garry for making the world a better place and I will find a Crown Lager six pack here in London wherever I can, raise a toast in your honour and celebrate the life or larrikin bloke who did a bloody good job in everything he got involved with. Lots of Love Staffa and Arlie, Kate and Samuel. x
VALE Garry, thankyou for the years of friendship, the chats at the racetrack, and your encouragement over the years. You were a great business man, mentor to many, and family man.

My condolences to barry and family on the passing of garry, l loved working for garry at his nissan dealership he was a great man and joy to work for great memories he left us all garry may you rest in peace. sharon mansell
the right words to pay homage to a man that did so much for motorsport in Australia are difficult, but Gary will always be remembered as the man that was a leader in our sport putting young drivers into front running cars to show their talent and back back up his belief in their skills. A man that couldn’t be pushed around and took crap from nobody, he was his own man, RIP Gary a life well lived.
Garry – you will be missed! You made me laugh so hard with your antics, and I was lucky enough to meet you, Bargs and Tander at the motorshow in Sydney after the 2000 Bathurst 1000 race.. You were kind enough to let me sit in the winning car!
My favourite memory of you though is when on a Friday night Pit Lane show at Bathurst, you called Roland Dane an old poof. Classic!
RIP Gaz..
A true gentleman in motorsport and in normal life.
A legacy left that will be hard to bet.
R.I.P
Farewell to the great man, Garry Rogers.
We had the pleasure of meeting Garry a handful of times and were always struck by his sharp wit, down to earth nature, and larger than life personality. His contribution to Australian motorsport is nothing short of legendary, and his legacy will continue to inspire for generations to come.
Rest in eternal (V8 race) peace, Garry.
With love and respect,
Kylie and Ray Byatt
I’m so sorry for your loss
Gary was amazing human being that changed my life for racing car and he always would say hello to me at events and got most of the drivers to sign my things autograph and I miss u Gary and thank you part of my life

I cut Garrys trees down a few years ago , he always waved to me when he seen my car driving down main St.
RIP Garry and condolences to his family
One wondered where those incredibly colourful moments first surfaced on the racetrack.
Garry’s infectious personality shone like a bright beacon and obviously spilled over not only among his petrol-head associates at the track but to his wonderful family as well :)))
Garry will be remembered with a fondness like no other. I am priveledged to have met such an incredible man. RIP GARRY ROGERS
To the Rogers family, my sincerest condolences on the loss of Garry. I have many fond memories of speaking with the Icon at race meetings across Australia but the one that stands out was at Winton meeting at Eastern Creek in 1998. My 4 year old son & I were walking through the merchandise area about 8.30am & we are wearing Peter Brock shirts when I hear ‘Hey mate Brocky’s retired how about following my team’ I turned around & there was Garry, Jason Bargwanna & Steven Richards standing outside the GRM truck with no one around. We walked back & got talking to the 3 of them & all of a sudden Garry gave my a polo shirt & a t/shirt for my son. He said ‘Brocky is the best but is now gone & I could use another couple of fans – how about it?’ I said to my son ‘ What do you reckon? My son said yeah Dad’ I replied & said ‘Yep we’re in’ with that Garry had the boys sign both shirts including himself & when I went to pay for them he insisted in me paying for only mine. I told him that wasn’t necessary for him to give us a free shirt but he said ‘fans are the lifeblood of our sport especially the young ones & it was his pleasure to do so. We both changed into our new GRM shirts on the spot & instantly became GRM supporters from that day on & still are today regardless of what make of car they ran. I last spoke to Garry at the now defunct Bathurst International & he was as usual outside his merchandise transporter in Harris Park selling, signing & talking to everyone & anyone who wanted to talk. The sports media talk a lot of rubbish these days about who’s a great this & a great that but Garry Rogers is & always will be an Icon of Australian sports a true legend who always made time for young people both in & out of his life. Motorsport has lost a true gentleman, a passionate advocate for young drivers & staff, who treated all of his team’s fans as mates. Goodbye Garry you are missed by a lot of people especially your family. There will never be another like you – ever! Rest in Peace!
Barry, Kaye, Krissie and all of the GRM family… My deepest sympathies. Garry, you gave me my first chance in this industry and bet on me when I first came to Australia. You have inspired me to live my life in a positive way without ever giving up. There was never a challenge you didn’t take on at full speed and you made sure that you instilled that in me every day we shared. You have an incredibly huge heart and I will miss you deeply. I know that you’re up there loving life at 100% throttle and absolutely loving every minute of it with a huge grin on your face and a stubby in your hand! You are a legend of the sport and a testament to this is not just the trophies but the hundreds of lives you helped shape. Thank you thank you thank you and see you flip side!!!
Thank you Garry for what you gave of yourself to the sport we all love. Condolences to Garry’s friends, all at GRM and to his family.
Gaz, many an amusing moment and overall some excellent times with you. Supercars should name an award after you for all you have done, especially giving youth a chance. Rest well and don’t cause too much drama with Brock !!!
Fond memories of our heady days at trade school and the early days racing FJ’s.
RIP mate.
My sincere condolences to Garry’s family and many friends, he was a larger than life character with an incredible smile and love for life with motor racing running through his veins. Thanks for everything you gave motorsport fans and competitors over the decades. RIP
My Deepest condolences to Kaye, Barry, Michelle, Krissie and their entire family. Garry was a wonderful person to all he came in contact with ,he was an inspiration to many & will be sorely missed. He & I shared so many special moments & while he may have left us those memories will live on forever.
Rest in Peace Garry.
I am shattered about the passing of Garry, we were great Mates, I send my sincere condolences to his Family. I got to know Garry when we were racing our Escorts, we had some great dices. He even gave me a test drive of his Escort at Sandown when I bought his old BDG from him. Later we raced against each other when he had the ex-Pete Geoghegan Monaro and V8 Torana and I had the ex-Bob Jane Monaro. He had a GRM Aussie Racing Car in our Young Gun program and he was always around our pits offering advice to the up-and-coming driver. In the period when we were racing our escorts against each other, for a lark, I had my name PJ Ward on the guard, he thought it was cool so from that day on he always called me PJW, and I called him GFXR, I can still hear his enthusiastic voice on the phone, “GFXR here”. I have just completed my book which is at the printers so too late to include a vale. However, I have been fortunate to have 20 or so famous people write recollections for it, Garry wrote a very nice piece and it’s in there with several pics of him and a story or 2 of things he did for me.
Garry was a great bloke, always smiling and always ready to help in any way he could.
I thought he would always be around, it’s not fair, no one told us getting old would be like this.
Rest In Peace Mate!
Gary you are a true gentleman and always will be highly regarded to me in many ways you were a passionate candidate in all aspects of life firm but fun and fair and you’ll be dearly missed by many thank you for the memories thanks for being a true mate have a few cold ones for me to cheers gaz

RIP Garry. You were one of the best and friendliest team owners I ever met down pit lane, you were happy to talk to anyone. Your awesome sense of humour will be sadly missed by all. Will miss the different ways you made everyone laugh and smile. Condolences to the Rogers family.

Sending best wishes to Garry’s family and friends at this sad time
Kay, Barry, and all the Rogers family I don’t know, my deepest and most sincere condolences. Working for Garry taught me a lot, about myself and life. My time working at 350 Springvale Rd will always be remembered as my favourite workplace, because we were all felt like a family, one big important family, with a boss that thought of us all as “Australia’s greatest workers”.
love always,
Ged (Whirlpool) and Paula Wiebrecht.
I will never regret someone I had an amazing life, time and experience with.
Even if we went seperate ways, you made my life special at a certain time.
We grew together, even if we grew apart.
You never left my heart.
Thank you. ❤️MAC
