Dear Sandy, so sorry for your loss. Gary and I worked together in the insurance business in Columbus, Ohio back in the early seventies!! That was before you started your family. He was a good man and a good friend. I hope your life is full with love from your children and grandchildren. Keep strong, Sandy and God Bless you and family. Rita (nee DeRuiz) Daines.

Cheryl, I am truly sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. Unfortunately I share your pain. My dad just recently lost his battle with cancer back in May this year. I know he was a very special man in your life. This is a very trying time for you and your family. Please accept our condolences
I don't think either of them missed a single basketball game of ours. Happy memories we will never forget.

Cheryl, I was saddened to read this in the paper today. Seeing the picture of your father brought back many great memories of high school and how active he was in yours and Adam's sports. I am so sorry for your loss.

I knew Gary for over 40 years. In all my years, I can't remember anyone else whose face consistently reflected such a beaming smile and who was as upbeat and enthusiastic for life as was Gary! He was especially enthusiastic when talking about his children and grandchildren. A genuine "good guy"! I will miss our lunches and his wonderful personality. I will miss my dear friend for the rest of my days.
