Mr. Gary,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army in Europe during WW II fighting the Germans and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

We will miss our dear jovial Uncle Bob. Even now we must smile and chuckle whenever we think of him. His absence leaves a tremendous hole in the familly. but his legacy of laughter lives on forever. Love and condolences to Aunt Anne and the cousins. Take care.

The Gallagher/Holder/Milchen family want to express our deepest sympathy and share some memories of a wonderful man, husband, friend, and father.

I know it has been a while since I have seen all of you but you are in our heart and prayers. I have the fondest memories of Bob Gary. As a child I can remember Mr. Gary's constant smile and a laugh that was contagious. His kindness was so available and made even the youngest children in the room feel important and listened to. Hiking along side of him and my dad (Charlie Gallagher) was so fun to watch as two great friends exchanged stories, laughed lots, and so enjoyed each new summit. The spectacular panoramic views from the Whitefield home are still etched in my mind and what a wonderful place to raise a beautiful family. Watching Bob and Anne Gary together was a perfect example of a loving and beautiful couple. I loved feeling so close to your family at an important time in my life. I truly hope the memories that you shared together give you peace during this sad time. He will be missed yet remembered by so many as such a wonderful man.

Love,
Laurie Gallagher Holder, Amherst, NH
