Gary and Linda lived across from us for many years here in Lansing. They were the best neighbors. Always friendly and Gary always helped me out when something broke or needed fixing. Great guy. We were blessed to know him. Brian and Tara

Gary was a kind a gentle person and I shall remember him this way. He was a great brother in law that I will remember always in my heart. My sympathy goes out to Linda and the kids and may they always remember him as a very kind soul.
