My sincerest condolences to the family of the man who always bent over backwards to take care of me as a kid in Saint John. From Emerg to either of his clinics at the hospital or his office downtown. I will never forget him and everything he had done for me. I am deeply saddened to learn about this tonight and wish you all the very best in the future.
Best wishes

Pat, Caroline, Maureen and Stephen,
In true Irish wake form, I hope you can remember all the great stories and great times. I have a lot of indelible memories of your Dad. Whether it was his gentle approach as our Doctor all of those years growing up, or simply having a good conversation on the front lawn of Westview and Crown Hill Crescent, he was a formative part of our whole Barry family.
As | am about to get the 'jab' this week, I will think about him yet again. He had a fantastic way with needles and scared kids that has stuck with me my entire life.
I hope you have all enjoyed the family time, memories and storytelling that he brought. I think he would have enjoyed it.

After meeting with Dr Norman Garey in his capacity as Clinical Head, the decision to join the Department of Paediatrics was easy
Norm was a strong leader and a warm and supportive colleague.
He was a feisty Paediatrician who enjoyed debating and advocating for children in the community and Hospital.
There was always a twinkle and sparkle in his eyes
A life well lived.

My deepest to the Garey Family,
Dr. Garey was there when my daughter Elaine first took sick and he was our rock. He was always there when he was needed. He not only took care of Elaine but our family as a whole.
Once when I was taking my daughter out for a walk and we stopped at the Convenience store, Dr. Garey walked in and when he saw Elaine he took out his stethoscope and checked her lung. He was truly an amazing Doctor and a over all caring person. When he retired I told him we needed to clone him so there would always be a Dr. Garey in this world.
Again my deepest condolences to you all.
