Gary was our Pastor at Greenbush Church. We would always see him at our church´s Lenten Services and enjoyed our talks. My grandson and I ran into Gary, Sandy, and Wendy when we were out for lunch a few weeks ago. We reminisced and talked about my sons and our grandchildren. It was a nice visit. May his family find peace and comfort in their memories and rejoice in knowing he is with his Lord.
