Time goes fast, but a wonderful memory of the ones we love is always there. We can still remember the great laugh Gary had and know Patti, Kari, Kayla and grandkids (now adults) will also never forget such a great fun loving person.
Big hugs to all the family from Oregon

Remembering how much our little Patti & his girls were the loves of his life and Gary was to them. My love & thoughts are with you Patti- your smile must be your symbol of strength - you've worn it in all the 54 years I have known you. Please know we love you and in our hearts you are always there.

I was Patti's friend years before meeting Gary. I always knew Patti the best. She was irreplaceable to me growing up. Time and life conspired to keep us from being in touch, but I will never forget the love they shared in the short time I did see them after they married. Gary was a solid and tender person. To Patti,Keri and
Kayla, I can only say I am so sorry for your loss as it it great. I pray for your strength in this time. I will never forget all of the good times.

I remeber Gary's smile which he had most of the time. He was always a gentleman, a kind man with a fun loving spirit. He loved his wife - always had that look in his eyes when he looked at her and his girls - he would do anything for them and Patti. Patti, I am so very sorry for your loss, I know how very much you two had in common (not height) but in love and laughter. My heart,thoughts and prayers are with you each day. I hope you remember me I was Shirley Leslie now its Shirley Cole

Although we've not been in contact for many years, the fond memories we have of times spent together made this news hard to accept. Gary was a great man and will be missed by all who's lives he touched. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

We had the pleasure of knowing Gary (and his whole family) for many years, over 40 years. Gary was the friend you could count on to help you do something and do it right and most of all do it with a laugh and smile.
We will miss him but will know that he lives on in his beautiful and loving family.
Daddy, Mommy, and Kozee

Gary was known at work as the best blade operator around. On a more personal note, he was one of the nicest men a person could be privileged to know. I loved it when he brought Patti to the office with him. What a special love they shared.
