Cotnam, Garry
Our beloved Garry passed away at Lakeridge Health Oshawa on October 6, 2022 at 12:32 p.m., after a short and courageous battle. He was the much loved and devoted husband to Sharon (nee Chonoskie), a wonderful and treasured father and best friend to son Brian, cherished father-in-law to Vanessa, the best big brother to Karen (Woods), and son-in-law to Ann Chonoskie (the late Cecil).

He was a soccer coach for Baker Parks League for many years, assistant coach for his son’s hockey team and a Cubs and Boy Scouts Leader for Scouts Canada.
