Gary Michael Bond

I want everyone who submitted a message that , I have read them and will always hold those words in my heart . Thank you Natalie Bond (Netty)

The best part of Gary's life is still with us. His character and intelligence that he passed on to each of us who knew him was his best attribute. I loved his sense of calmness and his willingness to have an open exchange of dialogue even if you disagreed on the principles of discussion. His physical presence may have passed, but his attributes will be indelible etched in my mind and heart. Brad Dopps

Gary was the best Grandpa any girl could ever ask for. He was always there for me to listen and provide me with encouragement and advice right when I needed it.

I worked at Gary´s Starbucks for 4 years. During that time I was privileged to have many long and nourishing conversations with a man of true character, intellect, and wisdom.

Missed today and every day.

What a great and appropriate tribute to Gary´s life. In just a few years, we became good friends over coffee at Starbucks. Gary was humble, thoughtful, funny, and so well read.

We bonded in part because we both grew up in Kansas, we called God´s country.
