Gary was and will always remain one of my most special friends. He was always kind, gentle, and loving. He was always willing to listen and give you a warm hug. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone- I will always love you Gary!

Gary, you will be missed so much at all of Julie's special gatherings. I can't think of a single soul who was kinder, more quick-witted, positive and willing to help in any way. Your wonderful advice given so freely with your gentle way and quiet voice will be cherished always. I am priviledged to have known you and shared so many happy memories in your company. Until we meet again. Your friend, Debbie Simmons
