My deepest sympathy to the Belcher family. Gary was a wonderful man; he loved his family and those grandchildren. I had the pleasure of working with Gary at Coldwell Banker from 2003 to 2009. He helped me with my first Sale. He was truly a special man, always willing to help with a smile on his face. May God be with you, Dee Campbell

My sincere condolences to the Belcher family. I had the pleasure of working with Garry at Marie Powell/Coldwell Banker from 1997 to 2001. He even helped me buy my first condo while I was there. Garry was an awesome guy, like a big brother. He had the best personality in all the world - he put family first and then his customers. He was a true blessing and will be sorely missed by many.

To Bruce and your family,
I am so sorry for your loss; my mom saw the obituary in the Blade and emailed me the news. I lost my dad last October and he, too, was a Marine.
Semper Fi, and God Bless....

We met Garry in 2002, when we relocated from RI. A few years ago, when we were ready to sell, we called him again. Both times he went way beyond what we expected from him. Garry, we will miss you.

I had the Honor of meeting Gary at the Coldwell Banker Real Estate office in St. Pete Beach as we are both former United States Marines.
He and I enjoyed each others company and chatted quite often about the 'Corps..the way things were as apposed to today etc. I Truly liked this Fine Gentleman, his laughter and his outlook on life in general.
God Bless You Mr. Belcher. I'm going to miss you! And until we meet again for eternity.
Your Friend,
Robert H. Smith

Garry was such a warm, caring, loving person and he always had a huge smile on his face. He would do anything and go out of his way to help out a friend. (or stranger for that fact) We will miss Garry very much. He was such a wonderful person with a wonderful personality. He could always make you laugh. To all of Garry's ladies- He loved you all so much and if there is anything we can do to help you, please let us know.
Love,

Belcher Family, May your memories sustain you through the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Garry and his smile --- you never saw one without the other! His auto service business in Shoreland brought many people - if only to say "hi". My dad always enjoyed chatting with Garry (and Mr. Burns) while his car was being serviced. We missed him when he left Toledo --- quite a guy! God be with the entire Belcher Family.

Sympathy - and love,
