"garry" All who knew you will never forget you ~ This website for Garry is sponsored by Jan Colvin from Alaska, my friend. Thank you dear Friend! Garry was the apple of his mother, margie's eye, her pride and joy. He seldom ever gave her any trouble and the few times that he did, she never knew about it, but only heard about it from others second hand. I only remember three times, and all when he was a teenager. Once, he and his friends were accused of stealing watermelons. Two, he and his friends paid my sister Marilyn and me in ice cream, cake, chips and soda, for not ratting him and his friends out for drinking beer. Three, he and his friends shot into the fireplace with BB guns, causing BB holes all over the mantel. But for the most part Garry was an ideal son who helped his mother. When he was a teenager in high school, he bought her a used but good refrigerator, because all she could afford to buy on her tiny salary was an ice box which afforded us younger kids no end of satisfaction in watching the ice man come in with a big hunk of ice carried in giant tongs. PLEASE CHECK OUT- - memory-of.com Marjorie L. [ Hatch] Knowlton for more important information about the life of her son Garry Knowlton July 12, 2006; I missed Garry's wake and funeral. My cat Shilah had to have emergency surgery for a burst tumor. Than, the vet found her blood count was too low, at 13 when it should be about 24, so surgery was delayed from the 10th to the 11th, to give Shilah a blood transfusion because she had injested a metal object that was putting too much zinc into her system. The object turned out to be the back of my watch that my husband bought for me in 1963. A dainty watch with two diamond chips. The watch was in a junk drawer in the kitchen that was over stuffed. Awhile back I had sometimes set one of the three cat food dishes under that drawer area. The time that the vet called yesterday to tell me that both surgeries went well, we were in the middle of a gigantic hailstorm which was followed by a gigantic thunderstorm. The thunderstorm left us with water up to our front porch steps and filling the college lot behind our house and part of our back yard. So that was what was happening here in the Boston area on the day of Garry's funeral in North Carolina. Garry was my mother's first child and only son. He was named Garry instead of George Knowlton after our father because as my mother related to me when I asked; my father said he wouldn't name a horse after himself. I don't know how come she put two r's in his name. Either it was the style before the actor Gary Cooper rose to stardom in those days or she just liked it better. As of 2006 I still have never heard of another Gary with two r's. Marilyn and I were just enough younger than Garry and Janice, to not be cohorts with them. They always referred to us as " the kids " When we were still in grade school, they lived in the exciting world of TEENAGE.

HOW GARRY FIXED MY WASHER ON THE NIGHT HE STEPPED OUT OF HIS BODY posted August 2, 2006 On the evening of July six and seven late at night, I heard something light and metallic fall. Three weeks later, late in July, I suddenly realized through my fog of grief that my washer no longer danced across the floor every time it spun. I found that a cooky cutter, one of several hanging from clips on the window curtain on the other side of the washer, had fallen into place under the back corner of the washer, leveling it so I just know that Garry did that.  Friday, July 6, 2007 This is the first anniversary of the last day Garry lived here on earth. I was sad that day because I had a feeling that it would be the last day. We don't know the exact time but it was sometime overnight between the 6th and the 7th. Officially it was noted as the 7th. Miss you Bro... |
