Mark, Michael, Kate and Sarah…. My sincere condolences for the loss of your dad. I did not know Gary very well, however knowing all of you confirms what a wonderful role model of a man and father he must have been. May he rest in peace now, watching over you with the Angels above ✨
To the icon of the Breen Family. You knew you could go as your job of raising 4 strong independent adults has been mastered. To Sue, Mark, Beaver, Kate and Sarah – your loss is heavens gain.
To Sue and all Gary’s family. I remember Gary calling me Chops short for Chop Suey when Chinese food was just becoming popular. I have so many happy memories of staying with the Bentleigh Breens. I remember running into Gary in the City as a teenager and my friends asking who this handsome young man was..
Thinking of you Sue & Family at this sad time Gary was a great guy we have wonderful memories at Swan Hill.

So very sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. What a character. Always so welcoming to myself and Mei Su. The relationship with Petts was as significant as it was amusing. They loved getting stuck into each other. A ripper fella. He will be greatly missed. Condolences to all the Breens. ❤️
