Peacefully at the Ottawa General Hospital on Sunday, February 27, 2022, Gary Postma of Morrisburg, age 65. Loving husband of Gayla Postma (nee Bouma). Loving father of Michael John Postma of Ottawa, Daniel Gary Postma (Mira) of Hamilton and Steven Richard Postma of Brinston. Dear brother of Ted Postma (late Margaret) of Chatham, Peter Postma (Helen) of Burlington, William Postma (Rebecca) of Georgetown and Anita Kleinwolterink (Todd) of Sioux Center, Iowa. Gary will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren Sophia Marie (11), Abigail Rae (8) and Benjamin Gary (4). He was predeceased by his parents John and Ann Postma (nee Zylstra). He is also survived by nieces and nephews.
Gary loved the Lord, he loved his family, he loved music, and he loved his many, many students from Sarnia, Toronto, and Williamsburg. Teaching was his joy for 38 years, until the day he left the classroom to enter hospital in 2017. Christian education was his passion.
