We were reminded of you when Kevin found out that he is to be inducted into the Villa Hall of Fame. He would not have achieved this honor without your family. The memories were special and you will never be forgotten. Ray and Jean

WOW, Very saddened to read this!! Gary was my very first Boss at the age of 18, he was the most wonderful Man! I have many memories of him and think of him often, even though I didnt speak to him much these days it seemed he could always come to mind though out my journey of life 25 years later. I will always miss his smile and laughter, and be praying for his family during this time.

So sorry to hear about Gary. He and I went through Army basic training together in 1966. I only saw him once since. Wish it could have been more.

My deepest sympathies to Donna, Jason, and Travis. Your husband and father will be greatly missed. He was such a great person to know and I enjoyed working for and with him for the past 25 years. He could always make you laugh at just the perfect time. Keep memories close and speak of him often. You will be in my prayers during this difficult time.

I was saddened to hear of Gary's passing, and have spent some time the last few days reflecting on the many ways he helped me in my years at I. B. Goodman. In my early career, he provided a certain amount of guidance to me simply by the example he set, and, although he may not have known it, was somewhat of a mentor. He always seemed to have time to help me with any work-related problems and issues that arose. What I appreciated more, though, was his sense of humor, which always helps immensely in any work environment. I will remember him fondly, and extend my condolences to Gary's family.
