Gary, I wasn't able to go to your memorial. I was at my Dad's 90th BDay. I stopped by to visit you at Fairview on my way home. It was so quiet there, and I could not believe that YOU are there, you were too young and full of life. I'll stop by once in a while. Our "cycle" rides over 17 years ago, where the best! STILL can't believe you're gone! ;-(

Our Condolences, go out to the Mooskian Family. Gary always made it a point to say Hello to me every day and most often when he would leave his job at the end of his shift. The last Time I spoke with him was Tuesday just as he was leaving for the day. May Gary be at peace, he will be sadly missed.

Just finding out and can't believe it. He was the sweetest person, and always smiling. He was a hard worker, loved to dance...his "vibrant" sweat pants..and his love of shoes! Happy face! Love to the family at this very sad time.

I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. I have not seen Gary in too many years to remember but his smile is something I will never forget. All the good things being said about Gary are so true and had me shaking my head in agreement. He truly was one of the few people I have met who knew what was important in this life. Thanks for the reminder....RIP
May you find comfort in God's word... You are never alone...

Uncle Gary, for the people who knew you they knew how great of a person you truly were. No matter the circumstances we could always count on you for a good laugh. You looked at life in a way that unfortunately most do not. You were happy go lucky and did not let the small things get you down. You were always smiling even if you did not know why :) you still had so much life to live.......2brand new great nephews that you haven't had the chance to meet or sing "One Green Speckle Frog" to yet but I know you are looking down on us with Papa and auntie making sure we are all ok. It's a shame you had to go so soon nana, dad, Beth, mom, Mel, me, Matt & jess miss you......untill we are all together again.....we love you

Gary, you were the first person I had met at the gym we had gone to. You put a routine together for us. It's funny because I will always remember, that you and I used to open the place at 4:30am., I always tried for 5:00am, but when I arrived, there you were with a smile, waiting for me, lol... I will miss that smile, your laugh and just how genuine and unique you always were... All my love to you my friend, Rest in Peace until the day we meet again, Love Michele
