In Loving Memory

To Gary's family: I am one of Gary's neighbors in his building, and I was so sad to hear of his passing. He was always willing to help fix things. It was also fun to visit with him . . . generally in the garage. I will miss him. May the Lord bless you and comfort you during this time of grieving.

dear Kellie,Denny,Jake,Cole,Michael, Tonya, Chaz, Kobe, Larry ad Andy, I am disappointed that events here in the East have kept me from shaing in Gary's celebration of life this evening .My luggage got there, if only I had packed myself ..alas, not to be. Over the years Gary and I shared many fun memories. I shall miss his upbeat attitude.."that the glass isn't half empty it is refillable! Cheers to you Gary I shall miss you. love Maureen

I have known Gary as long as I have Denny . His Father - was one of US . Ten or twenty years apart in age meant nothing . Good guys are good guys . Always a gentleman and a friend . Gary was regular at our boy's lunches . He will be missed and sincere condolences to his family .
