Not sure what to say?

It"s been 8 years since Gary's passing and the love and fond memories only get stronger. We truly miss you my friend. Until we reunite again

My friend and my mentor. You will never be forgotten. Dancing with your daughters at my wedding will be a lasting memory.

I was so sorry to hear this. Thoughts going out to Linda and his family.

Linda, I found out today about Gary's passing and was shocked. I will try to get ahold of you. Stay strong as I know you are and Gary will be right on your shoulder helping you along. I will keep you both in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear love one. May you find some comfort and peace from the loving and wonderful memories that you shared.

Nancy and I are so very happy that we came to know Gary since he and Linda moved to Croton pond. What a sweet, gentle, loving man! I'm sure that we would have found so much more to love if we had had more time to get to know him. Our hearts go out to you Linda, and the family as you remember your wonderful husband, father and grandfather. We ask for God's grace and comfort to be with you in the days ahead! He will be greatly missed by us too!

Love,

Jack and Nancy Befus
