It is with great sadness we wish to announce the passing of Gary James Cathcart. On March 26, 2019 Gary passed away peacefully at Polson Special in Vernon, B.C. at the age of 71.

Gary was predeceased by his parents Jim and Mary Cathcart, brother Tommy Cathcart, sister Elizabeth Kempa and grandson Ty Cathcart.

We would like to thank the exceptional staff at Polson Special for the outstanding love and care they provided for "Gar-bear" these last three years.
