So sorry for the family´s loss! Lifting them all up in prayer during this difficult time. They were wonderful neighbors! He will be missed by so many! Gary was very passionate about cheering his children on. I had the pleasure of watching Nora during the 2012 football season, in their home. They never missed a game! It was the highlight of his week and Nora couldn´t wait to play.

Kathy and Family, I was so sorry to read of Gary sudden passing. I knew him as a rather quiet and thoughtful consultant from AEA. It is obvious that he lived his life to the fullest, though it was somewhat shortened. Without a doubt, fond memories of him will linger. love and hugs, especially to Kathy.
