So sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I don't know if this is the Gary I used to know. It was hard to tell by the obit info. & the photo shown. I didn't see much about Gary but a lot about his wife. I hope it is the same Gary I knew who was a great person. So sorry for his family.

To Gary's family.

I left town on 8-2-10 and learned of his passing upon my return. What a guy! He did my printing for years. Honest, dependable, on time. What more can someone ask than to have these character traits possessed by Gary. He was a great businessman and I'm sure he was the same at home. May your sorrow be followed by happiness that you will be with him again and he will put his arms around each of you for that embrace that you now miss.

God bless

Traci, Trena, Jache and Derrick,

My heart is so heavy for you and your family. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Gary. He welcomed me into his home as one of his children. He made me laugh, kept me on my toes and I will never forget watching the Jazz games with him. I am so sorry for your huge loss of such a wonderful father and friend. May the memories and love you shared fill your heart until you meet again. Much love as always,
Roni and Dan
