Colleagues describe them as "Garry is a true asset to any organization that he joins. I worked along side him for over two years; in that time it was clear that he exemplified excellence of craft and dedication to those he leads. Within his team, and in the organization, he encouraged open mindedness, and fostered trust through open communication and sharing of ideas without judgement. He was culture carrier. In leading the Front End Division he took into consideration not only the long term growth of the product, but that of his team. Garry was also true partner to the Design division. He constantly encouraged cross collaboration between the two groups. Lastly, as a peer he was honest, forthright, and approachable. If I had the opportunity to work alongside Garry in the future, I would most definitely do so.", "Garry is one of the most kind and compassionate people I've ever worked with. He is very people-centered and cares genuinely about the people in his care. As a director his support was palpable, I knew that he had my back. He brought his technical expertise to bear on our conversations and was a trusted resource on the front-end team. It was a pleasure working with Garry, and I highly recommend him!", and "Garry brought me on as an intern with Loyal, and by doing so took a chance on me given that I don’t come from a traditional CS background. Under his leadership and guidance, I was able to develop and sharpen my skills to the point that I was offered a permanent job. The team that he built as the Fronted Manager, and later as Director of Engineering, was inclusive, diverse, and had a genuinely great culture. His soft skills are exemplary, and while the original team that he assembled was reshuffled due to a corporate restructure, the impact of Garry’s work is still evident by the amazing staff that he hired, and the culture that he helped curate."
