We met playing golf but a wonderful friendship quickly blossomed. There was a sharing of Bears season tickets at which I'll always remember Gary's fake radio which he'd smuggle in to toast our beloved Bears. I was honored when Gary agreed to be a groomsman at our wedding. Then he introduced us to his wonderful family and we got together for an occasional dinner which was always a fun time. Gary just had a way of making everyone happy. But a golfing memory that is haunting me right now is hearing Gary sing an old Roy Rodgers song "happy trails to you until we meet again" as we walked down the 18th fairway at the old Timber Trails golf course.
God bless you Gary and the entire Berner family!

My deepest condolences to Karen, Indalia and Marbeya on the loss of your husband and father. As you know we are long time lunch buddies, golf buddies and of course work buddies and just all around great friends. I will never forget any and all the good times and will cherish him always.

Gary was like an older brother to me. I have wonderful memories of growing up with him and all the crazy stunts he pulled both with and on me! Seems like I lived at the farm with Gary a number of summers. I will never forget those times.
Hugs to the family,
Cousin Barbara
