Garry's first ride with Woy Woy Peninsula Branch was the 2015 "Katoomba Whiteout", a wet and foggy (and terrific) experience which would test the resolve of any rider. Garry took it cheerfully in his stride, going on to become a regular participant in club rides and social events. A wonderful, quiet and great guy!

Garry continued to ride his golden Triumph Sprint, never losing his sense of humour, through an extended battle with cancer and taxing treatment programme.

Garry passed away in the early hours of 27 September with family by his side. Garry's brother Robert Johnston relayed this message to the branch: "Garry is on his last ride to a happy place without pain as of this morning. Many thanks to all of the friends that he has made while at your club. Regards, his twin brother."

Family and friends filled the chapel to overflowing for Garry's service at Palmdale. Words from family and a large collection of slides presented a clear picture of a much loved family man, sportsman and motorcyclist. The service concluded with the song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" - very appropriate.

Ride on Garry.... we'll miss you.
