My Dear Aunt Amy, I am so very sorry for your Loss of an awesome Husband, Father, Grandfather, Brother, Uncle and friend. I will always remember Uncle Gary with a smile on his face. I have so many fond memories of Uncle Gary. What I always looked forward to was seeing him and getting a big hug and a "Tammy Jo". I am thankful that his pain is gone and he is whole again. He will be missed. I love you all.
