Dale, Thinking of you today as I read of Gary's wonderful life. He gave so much to so many. He had it all, including the love of his life. God bless you and your family. Bud 59'

To Dale and Daughters: I am sorry to have missed Gary's service; would have liked to give you all a hug. Gary always made me laugh because he always laughed. wishing you peace in your loving memories, Wilma west

Dale and family, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family. Gary was one of the finest people that I have been privleged to know in my lifetime. He was a great teacher and friend and he made a difference. God Bless. Russell Bicker and family

You have our deepest sympathy, Dale and daughters. Jeannie and I enjoyed Gary very much. He was one of the best teachers we ever knew. When we walked by his open door classroom , his students were so focused on the lesson.

Amy & John and Family, Don and I were saddened to hear of the passing of your dad. It is so very hard to lose a parent. God will give you peace in knowing that your dad is in Heaven. Memories are so important when dealing with loss. From what I read in your dad's obituary, he made and contributed to so many great memories with his family that you will have to cherish forever. God bless! Don, Vicki & Alyssa Dietz

Gary and I were best friends, both growing up on S. Main St. In DuBois, living about a half mile apart. We spent many Saturdays watching movies at the Avenue Theater, camping out together, and hanging out, and attending school together. I knew his mom, Sally, Hobby, and even his grandparents, who lived with Gary, Sally, and Gail. I have many fond memories of him, and our childhood. I regret that we didn't meet after our school years.

I had Mr. Anderson for 7th grade history. Great great teacher. If you can recall your history teacher from 30+ years ago, it means he was darn good. We always talked sports with him, and remember that year, we bet him a bag of M&M's on who would win the NBA Championship. Of course, I can't remember who won the bet, but he was good at connecting with kids. Good man, and will be missed.

Dale, Jill, Joy and Amy,

I tell my children all the time what a wonderful man Gary was and that he was my favorite teacher ever! I loved running into you last year when I was in Butler, and Gary made me laugh heartily as he greeted my by the nickname he gave me back in Jr. High--"Larry"! He will be missed by many. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love,

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
