I worked alongside Gary and Justine at the Bulla Family Dairy Innovation workshops , and I cannot remember another time in my life where I have had so many belly laughs. We were always so grateful for his time as there was always so much wisdom shared, and always a cheeky remark alongside it. He had a spark, and it’s rare to see these days. My condolences to Renae, the kids and all who are feeling the void. Don’t worry, he’ll be up there working out the best way to prank you and let you know he’s ok.
Gary, it was a true honour to have met and worked on the road with you all those years ago at Clams, you gave me my nickname that has stuck to this day, 15 years later and makes me think of you all the time.
Many laughs in the car driving to those many restaurants and I was so crap at the job and you were ever amazing trying to teach me.
I will never forget you.
My deepest condolences to Ren and your beautiful children.
All my thoughts and prayers,
Narel “Chavi”.
Ps: my Cheese Rounds Wedding cake that you and Ren put together for me was the best and is still spoken about!
You will be very missed.
Dearest Ren, Maci, Kiki and Saxon,
Wishing you all my deepest sympathies. I will always treasure the memories I have of Gary, they will always make me smile.
Love to you all. May he Rest In Peace.

BROTHER- We just wanted to let you know having a brother like you was very special, as kids we lived, cried, fought and laughed along with our wonderful parents. We had very happy times together. You would always play the joker and wind us up, then you would step back and smile at us with that wicked smile. Even through we were miles apart, you were always in our hearts and thoughts. We always picked up were we left off, as we were never apart. We were a very lucky family to know you and how talented you were.
Rest in Peace our little brother Love Mum, Mary, Michael, Eugene, Tricia and Lizzie and all your family around the world. XXXX ❤❤❤
Thanks Gary for your very frank words when I needed to hear them, you made me laugh the last time I spoke with you, and I will never forget what you said and told me. Xxx Xxx

My thoughts are with you, Rhen, Macey, Kiki & Saxon . He has an unforgettable character & a way of drawing enthusiasm at every turn. An awesome fella and an honour to have spent time with
I cannot honestly remember the first time I connected with Gary. It was like he was always there – throughout chef competitions and industry events, to give you a boost at the right time, grab an extra ingredient or lend an encouraging word. I am grateful to have assisted him on many occasions, and when he called for a favour it was a easy ‘ yes chef!’
Much respect and admiration.
Absolutely heartbreaking, my thoughts go out to you Ren and the kids.
Never has a chef made such a huge impact on me professionally as Gary did. The year we spent working together is still one of the highlights of my career!
He was an amazing human being and the world is a lesser place now.
Sending my love. R.I.P
One Team One Dream❤️
My thoughts are with you. We will miss Gary so much. He was an amazing man and you could not fault him in anyways. Gary, I know your wife and kids will always look after another and kids will be amazing just like you was Gary. Fly high and look after your dad in heaven ❤
Gary,
You were one of the first in my ACF family, & we all know how family comes first, my trial by fire was trying to arrange Paco-Jet canisters from Australia to be delivered to you in Germany at the Olympics in 2004. Pete spoke tonight of 14 movements on a plate – another fond memory that we all remember for most of the team dishes. Thank you for your inspiration, your attention to detail, for encouraging me eat rabbit & giving me the nickname Twisted Sister. Even if it was just between U & Me
Gary, you have been taken so suddenly and far too soon. We are all still shocked and heartbroken that you are no longer with us, but thappy memories of you will always be forever in our hearts.
A beautiful service for a beautiful, funny and very talented man.Very touching and poigniant tributes to Gary my cousin. Our thoughts are with you Renae, Maci, Kiki and Saxon.

Condolences to Ren, the kids and to all of your family and friends. Rest in peace Chef -never forgotten ❤️
Rest In Peace Gary – Farewell and thanks for your friendship and your creative force.
Always humble, always stirring the pot in more ways than one! He was hilarious, reliable and endlessly generous with his vast culinary skill set and patience for those with L plates.
Gary was the chef of chefs ….. he did so much incredible work in support and development of our food industry. I want to particularly note the body of work he completed for Bulla Family Dairy working with the product development teams to road test the performance of innovative Bulla culinary products that are staples used in home kitchens all over Australia.
Gary worked tirelessly with boundless energy long hours with a fabulous sense of humour along the way. I was so lucky to know him and sending much love to his family who have lost a father and husband. Sending you all big hugs. Justine
I was shocked & saddened the day I heard Gary had passed away. My normal morning texts from Jav contain something that puts a smile on my face but not this one.
My sincere condolences to Gary’s family in Australia & here in the UK.
Gary you were taken far too soon, may you rest in peace thinking if you all Renae and your family and all the family in England especially Claire. Frank, Sinead, Isabella, Hope & Samuel Downey, Wicklow, Ireland.
Gary was my boss at the Melbourne Aquarium. I will miss his professionalism comedy and genius in the kitchen.thank you Gary for everything you gave to me and for being a decent man.Condolences to Gary’s family.xxx
