I am so, so sorry to hear about Perry’s passing. What a very difficult time for all of you.

Dr Garber aka Perry was a true gentleman and a wonderful doctor for my parents, my brother and myself. I always enjoyed his humor and wonderful conversations. When I think of Perry, a smile comes across my face. He was a special human being and he made our planet a much better place. That is part of his gift. We will miss you, Perry. Love and warmth to the family. Peace.
Our sincere condolences to the family.
Dear Stacy, Bozek , Garber and Licker Families,
We are truly sorry to hear about the loss of Perry. He was an amazing guy that we were so lucky to spend holidays and special occasions with and we feel a deep void and sadness in this time of profound loss. We are thinking of you and sending love, sympathy and strength at this time. Love to you from Michelle and Marc Strager and Family
the world is that little less sparkly today because of Perry’s passing. He captivated me and was a force of nature, or as Perry may have preferred me to say – “Il m’a captivé et était une force de la nature”. I am honoured to have spent time with the man, rest in peace.
Our sincere sympathy to Stacey & Adam Bozek & extended family.
We are deeply saddened to learn of Dr. Garber’s passing. Both my husband & I were patients of his for many years. As a doctor he was a “rare find”, he was warm, compassionate & dedicated. He truly was “one of a kind”.
