To All of Gary's Family, my deepest heartfelt condolences. I always considered Gary one of my best friends and it was a pleasure to know him and his family. I will always see Gary's smile and hear his laugh. We always had a good time when we did things together may years ago and even when we talked on the phone in recent times our friendship remained the same. Dusty and Kayla I am especially sad that your time with your Dad was ended so prematurely. May his memories carry on with you and may they bring you smiles as he is now as I think of Burt. God Bless You All.
