Mooney aka Gary lived for his wife and children. He missed his late wife Yvonne and children very much. It brings comfort and some joy knowing they are all reunited in the spirit world.
Mooney had many friends and family that hold cherished memories of him from the past and present. He enjoyed the surprise visits from anyone he knew. He was well known around the parkland and beyond. He loved to hunt in his younger days, even talked about it in his sleep. He loved his TV shows especially anything western, sports, the hunting channel, Coronation Street and Blue Bloods. His favorite teams are the Winnipeg Jets, Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Dallas Cowboys. He even loved to watch tennis.
Dad was the best cribbage player and enjoyed a game of rummy with friends and family, him and Yvonne loved their bingo dates every week when they were together. His favorite song was by Cher – Believe. He enjoyed his partying days and sitting around the fire.
Dad didn’t have much as in material things but he sure had a lot of love to give. He was rich in family and friends. He will be forever loved and missed.
Rest in Paradise Dad.
