I was at MHS with Gary and worked with him at Arthur's Bar. I will miss him I have not seen him in 40 years. I don't know why I googled his name today 3/4/09... my sympathy to the family.

Dear Mrs.Canner, Your husband was my gym teacher at McKenna JHS and he coached my husband on football at Berner HS. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers at this difficult time. All the kids liked having Mr. Canner in class back in the day. Please know that he touched the lives of lots of us throughout his career as a teacher and a coach.
With sympathy,
Jennifer and Neil Duffy

I enjoyed Gary's friendship during the many years at Sextons in Seaford, and as a hunting buddy at Arnold Buenker's house in the Catskills. He will be missed, but his humor and smiles never forgotten. He was the perfect hunting companion....fun...generous....and a lousy shot....lol......there are still plenty of deer up there who also think highly of him. Seriously, Heres to ya Gary!

Dear Peggy,
I was so sorry to hear of Gary's passing.I have so many wonderful memories of you in our Williston Park days (I believe your folks still live in my old house on Marcellus Rd.) and of Gary in Massapequa (mostly Tobay Beach) after I moved to Massapequa. He was a teriffic young man and I'm sure he remained so. He left you much too soon, but I was so pleased to see that he lived to see his grandchildren. My deepest sympathies to you and your entire family. Fondly, Lynn Carroll
