Gary N. Remillard, 70, of Wilbraham, was Called Safely Home on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. He passed into Eternal Life at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston surrounded by the care and comfort of his loving family. 

He was born in Springfield on July 18, 1955, a beloved son of the late Normand J. and Rita (Picard) Remillard.
