We are so sorry for Gary's sudden passing. Gary was most proud of his children. Nathan and Emma are both special, thoughtful, caring, loving people. A wonderful reflection of who he and their mother were and are. What better legacy is there for any of us to leave behind? God Bless you Gary, we will keep watch.

I knew Gary about the time he started seeing Roberta. He was such a kind man, and nowadays thats a rather rare quality to have. Very patient, kind and insightful. I know Roberta misses him terribly. I love the picture of him with his cat.
