Garry Dumbrell 1 June, 1957 – 15 October, 2021

Lauren and Mathew Nilsson

I have been struggling to find the right words to convey how much Garry meant to me and how heartbroken Mat and I are for his family and all who knew him. I feel so incredibly fortunate and grateful to have been a part of Garry’s family life for 12 years and privileged to witness Garry in his roles as husband and father. He was the best example of unconditional love, fun and generosity. I have so many happy memories of times spent with the Dumbrell family that I will cherish forever. I have Garry and Lisa to thank for my husband and my own family. Garry started out as my boss but soon became my friend and a father figure to me. Thank you, Garry, for trusting me to care for your children, for the many adventures and experiences I shared with your family, for all of the advice you gave Mat and I during our many chats, your check in text messages to both of us, and most of all, for welcoming Mat and I into your family life. All our love to Lisa, Emily, Clare, Ben, Lucas, Paul, Rosie and all of the family. Love always, Lozza and Matty.
