BOBCIK
Gary P., 74, of Port Orange, FL, formerly of Ridgefield, NJ, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 16, 2013. Gary was a truly gifted artist who brought life to canvas with oils and watercolors but his heart's desire was in sculpting. His graceful hands could mold clay into amazing works of art. He was a tireless caregiver providing comfort and support first to his mother and then to his sister. A person who was generous with his time and effort, Gary provided an artistic flourish to events and ceremonies for everyone who asked for his help. He was a gentle soul who never truly embraced or understood technology and still wrote and mailed letters to friends and family all over the world. He had a dedicated following of amateur painters as well as volunteering his time to Hospice, teaching art classes for troubled boys, and reading to children at the local library. He was also a member of the local Society of Decorative Painters. Left to cherish his memory is his sister Paulette Capwell, nephews Wayne and Kevin Capwell, four great nephews and one great niece, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins. A Memorial Service will be celebrated on this Sunday at 12:30 PM at Blackley Funeral Home, 809 Broad Avenue, Ridgefield, NJ (201) 945-5032.
