What a fantastic neighbor he was
And always ready to help with taxes
He would spend so much time helping my mother when she visited me
You and your sweet wife and children are missed in this neighborhood

It is with deepest sympathy that I write this. Gary was a good man, a good friend, my tax preparer, and my former brother-in-law. I remember when he first came to Tucson and stayed with us. He tried very hard to be helpful. It is hard to believe he joins 3 of his 4 siblings, all too young, but all in a better place. God is watching over them and enjoying their humor. God bless his family.

Patty and I want to express our deepest sympathies about Gary's passing. We had nice dinner with Gary a few years back and discussed a lot of great memories. He will be missed. It is so sad that so many of the Christners have passed so soon. I read once that what the caterpillar considers the end of life, God calls a butterfly.

I had the honor to work for Gary for several years. He taught me so much about business and also many life lessons. I would not be the person I am today without Gary's infuence. Janet, Dustin & Jill my love and prayers are with you as well as your families. Gary will always have a very special place in my heart.

Aunt Janet, Dusty, and Jill- Uncle Gary was always a jokester. It was especially fun if Uncle Dennis, Uncle Harley, your dad, my dad, and Uncle Bill would all be together at family gatherings. I always liked coming to your house in Cass City. Uncle Gary would take all five of us out for a snowmobile ride one by one. I bet he was a really good grandpa because he was so much fun! God Bless you all and keep in touch. Dan and Phyllis(Deering) Baranski and family

Janet, Dustin, Jill and families, I remember going to Rotary Club at noon in Cass City with Gary and playing euchere!
When it was tax season, you all were regular diners at my restaurant. Brother Roger remembers double dating in a hot convertible. I am sure Gary will be fixing something in Heaven! He is in a better place. God Bless You All!

Our sympathy to you in the loss of our cousin Gary and heaven's gain. He was always a joy to be around and had such a good sense of humor. We have so many good memories of he and his family at our Rook family gatherings years ago. We share in your loss and pray that you can also dwell on your many memories and the joy of seeing him again in heaven. God be with you all. Our love,

I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. He was a wonderful neighbor, and friend for many of us and espcially to my mother. I will never forget how she conned him into taking her shopping one hot summer day.

You will be missed. We know you were a great Uncle, when we were little I remember that you took the girls out for a spin in your boat before the guys got to go out for the day, great memories.

I love you dad! I will miss you everyday, but know that I will see you again in Heaven someday. I hope you are at peace. I feel very lucky to have had you as a father.
