To The legeer family, My father and I had know Gary since 1980 he used to stop in at our establishment "Just Us" in Gates, NY. I loved Gary he would tell me stories and make us laugh all the time. I recently was fortunate to speak with him he called Allstate where I work currently and we caught up with everything. I didnt realize he was so ill. He also adopted my loving dog Tasha. He was just such a nice guy. I hope he is at peace....Lisa and Philip Fedele.

The best part of working at Telecomp was sitting next to Gary! I knew every day I would have a smile on my face and be laughing as well.
He was a joy to be with and I will miss him .
He was quite specific in his love for his family, and I always enjoyed the stories of what had happened recently. Especially with Eric! Those stories were the best!

It is with heavy heart that I share my sympathy for the passing on of Gary. He was my cousin. My mom and his mom were very close and when we were young, there were the three cousins – Gary, Joan and Lynne that saw a lot of each other. Todd came along much later and was our ray of sunshine. Gary always had a great big smile on his face like he knew something we didn’t know. He enlisted me to gang up on Joan just for fun if she wouldn’t play with us. He grew into a very caring man and I think one of his greatest gifts was talking. He loved to tell stories and to collect things. I’ve been sick this week and can’t make it home from North Carolina for the funeral, and I’m very sad about that. I know that Suzie and the kids and his brother Todd will miss him greatly, as will everyone who knew him. My prayers are with the family and I pray that our loving God is with Gary and his mom and dad in heaven catching up on old times. May God Bless.
