The photo Michelle Stafford shared is not dated but it looks as if it may be from about 20 to 25 years ago. Michelle is standing on one side of Garry and a blonde woman is standing on his other side. Michelle did not indicate in her post the name of the blonde female.

A smiling Garry is wearing a lei in the snapshot which Michelle captioned, “And we were able to drag this [Garry] to a Luau… He sat cross-legged on the floor like the rest of us… Made everyone laugh all night. I mean the celebration of a pig… It was great fodder. Ahhh… This brilliant man. I was lucky to know him. I just wanted to be around him. To be such a genius… It’s rare. You beautiful lovely honest spiritual man. Go enjoy your next journey. You’ll always be spectacular to me #ripgarry.” The photo can be found on Michelle’s Instagram.
