Not sure what to say?

To Gary's Family, I just found out now that Gary's passed! I'm so sorry for your loss!
I'm Robyn Benedict Gary's neighbor. Gary's help supervise when my windows were being installed, November 2019. He made sure they put lots of foam insulation in. He made sure the last windows was installed when I couldn't be home on that day! Gary's always had a kind word. He did a fabulous job with the flower garden and the rocks around his condo building! We will miss him at Monocacy Overlook!

I worked with Gary for many years on Hubble. Great guy. And jammed with him a few times! He came over to my house one day and recorded the bass part to "White Room" by Cream on my 4 track while I sang and played the guitar. I still have the song if anyone wants it. Email me at [email protected]

Gary always made time to stop and chat. Was very humble and down to earth. Will be missed by many friends and associates. Very blessed that our paths crossed in this life.

Gary will be missed. May God grant him peace and rest for eternity.

Gary was my neighbor at 1601 Berry Rose Ct. for 24 years and he was a very kind and generous person. Whenever something happened at my condo (anything from someone banging on a neighbor's door in the middle of the night to flooding in my condo) he was always there to lend a hand to do whatever I needed. I moved away last year, but was still close enough to see him walking and he came to visit my new home and to meet my two beautiful cats. Even though I didn't see him often any longer, he...

A really nice guy. We met while working out at the Y. Always upbeat and physically fit!

Wonderful, friendly and kind. We saw him every day, twice a day at the YMCA. He was always positive and kind. I will certainly miss him.

I am so shocked and sorry for Gary’s passing. I worked with him at the Y and talked with him daily as he would come to the Y twice a day for most of the week. He was a lovely gentle soul. The obituary spoke of his Christmas cards he enjoyed making and I along with another coworker were lucky enough to be given 2 that he had made last year. He will be missed at the YMCA since he had a lot of friends there.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
