Gary,

This is our 3rd year without you and Thanksgiving was on your birthday this year.

Life has changed so much since you have left this year

You and Dad are fixing all the plumbing issues in heaven and probbly keeping really busy.

You are missed a lot by your family but it sad you were taken for us so soon.

I really didnt get to know you that well but I hear great stories about you.

Your loneliness is gone now.

Dad is with you and enjoying your time together.

Happy Birthday and Happy Thanksgiving Gary

Rest in Peace.

Gary, I will miss you every day for the rest of my life! When you left here so unexpectedly, you took a big part of me with you, but dear brother you also left a big part of your-self with me! I don't believe any brother and sister could be any closer than us! I feel your presence with me always. You are always in our hearts and prayers. I can see your face even now, with a smile big enough to light up the heavens! Our family will never be the same. I know we'll all be together again one day, untill then your spirt lives on within the hearts of all of us who love you so dearly! I can still hear you saying "sissy cowboy up"!Steve misses you more than you can ever imagine! But we have been blessed to have you in our lives for almost 52 years! I'm sorry I wasn't with you when you passed, but we both know I could have never said good-by! I will do my best to look out for Jan and the kids, they love and miss you so much! I'll bet you and Dad had quite a reunion! I pray that you,Lenny and Dad will be there to greet me when my time comes. Save a place for me Brother! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! And thanks for a life time of beautiful memories! The bond we share transcends this life, I am always with you! Ryan is our newest little angel!
P.S. Thank-you for the tip G.W.
Love You Forever, "Sissy" Karen

Tell Dad I already miss him but I know we will be together again someday. I did all I could to keep him comfortable his final hours here. The spiritual presence in the room was overwhelming when he took his last breath. I could feel you and Grandma and Grandpa there to guide Dad home. Tell him we will take care of Mom and Lucky and all his 4 legged family members. His work here is done and it is time for him to rest. What a Glorious Reunion it will be when we are all together again.

Gary.

I sure you were happy to see Dad 01/22/09 and glad he came to join you

Even though we will miss him so much we know how much he wanted to be with you

He always talk about you and how much he was truly missing you

He wasn't really himself after you left your life here on earth

Even though he went to work everday his heart was aching because he missed his plumbing partner a lot

We are really missing you both but we know that God has special duties for your both to do

So I hope you were the person to greet Dad when he arrived in heaven

Until we meet again

Gary,

On 122808 your brother-in law Lenny Greco has joined you in enternal life

Karen really missed you alot

Lenny and God decided you needed company

Even though he knew it meant leaving his life here on earth and the women (Karen) he was married to for 38 years he wanted to make sure you were not alone

It has really been a hard time for the family to lose both of you in this short time especially for Karen

There is not a day that goes by that you are not in someones thoughts or conversation

Again it is like the old saying "Life is truly what you make of it" and you should "Live it to the fullest" and I feel both of you did

It just makes it hard for all of us still here to cope with your passings

As we start this New Year of 2009 always know Gary we truly miss you and now you and Lenny can entertain each other until we all meet you both again

Rest in Peace my dear brother-in-law

Gary,

Today mark 1 year ago you left your earthly body to heaven

There is not a day that goes by your name and the memories everyone shared with you are mentioned

You are truly missed by everyone

It is so hard to believe you are no longer wih us

Now you can be our guardian angel

People you have hung around with at Fox High School was saddened to hear of your untimely death

You will be a grandfather again real soon and I know they will know about you

Family is not the same without you

RIP my dear brother in law

I will miss you Greatly, dear Gary. Your passing has changed my life. I know I failed you in some ways, and I will do my best to take care of the things you left behind, and to help in strengthening the bonds among your children and grandchildren. Thank you for being my Brother.

I'd like to tell a story that our mother tells about Gary when he was a little boy. He would yell "Jeronimo" and take off running as fast as he could towards the front door. He would put his head down and one arm straight out and aim for the push-latch on the screen door and outside he would charge! Mom says that she still remembers holding her breath and closing her eyes everytime she heard the famous yell. I know that when Gary saw the Golden Gates he put his head down and his arm straight out and charged thru them yelling "JERONIMO!" See you in Heaven Dearest Brother!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
