Garry Schwartz funeral

Garry Schwartz Funeral

Garry Schwartz retired from Good Shepherd in 2021, from the role of Director of Business and Finance, and was a much loved and respected member of the community, having served for 20 years. Garry touched so many lives within our community and left behind a tremendous legacy.   

Garry’s funeral will be held on Wednesday 8 February at 1.30pm at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.  The majority of our staff team will be attending the funeral, requiring some reorganisation of our day and some creative staffing solutions.
