In Loving Memory
On behalf of our father/grandfather, George V.M., we wish to extend our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to Georgia and all of Gary's family at this time of his loss. Gary was a sweet and gentle man and a very good friend to George in his last years. George, Gary and Lionel were like the Three Muskateers at meals, and the company of Gary and Lionel is what saw dad through his long days. May the blessings of many wonderful years of fond memories comfort you now. From Jeanne and Gina Borsani

My first exposure to Gary was when he was ill in his teen years. He received a blessing which calmed him down. What a privilege to read of his activity in the temple and his great worth to his family. We send our condolences to his family.
