Not sure what to say?

I first met Gary when I was taking classes at Rock Valley College in 1989. He drove the bus route for the college. He loved his job, much like as I would learn latter as he loved his family and friends. The guy had love which is a sign of having the Holy Spirit. He was a fountain of wisdom and always had a kind word. In 1990 I stared a 6 year stint in the USN.

Hi My name is Rusty Barnes and I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of Gary. I remember Gary very well through my Dad Virgil Barnes who also drove for RMTD. Again my deepest sympathy!

Lou my heart and thoughts go out to you and your family.

Gary was a very professional driver and quality individual that was well respected by all. A true measure of a man.

Gary was a great man, he was always alot of fun, and very easy to talk to. I remember going fishing with my family up in Ely MN and Gary caught a 10 lb walleye, he was quite the fisherman. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

A fair, compassionate, considerate and devoted friend that blessed us with his presence. And the best walleye fisherman you could ever hope to meet. We will always sincerely miss Gary and remember Gary for what he gave to us in his caring and sincere consideration of everyone's feelings. Gary was a friend to enjoy and a friend to learn from. Without a doubt Gary was a fulfilled person that did have his interests that he thoroughly enjoyed, but it was more obvious that his family was his...

Sorry to hear about Gary. He was a fun & professional man to work with.
