Gary Bonds

Gary was such a great friend to my dad, Jim Scott, and they golfed often. We are truly saddened at his sudden passing and will be praying for you. A good friend of mine, who was a deep sea fisherman, passed away 15 years ago, and the following poem was shared in his memory. Sending all the love and prayers to the Bonds family. I´ve finished life´s chores assigned to me, So put me on a boat headed out to sea. Please send along my fishing pole For I´ve been invited to the fishin´...

I miss the Bama posters, the football games, and fun things like bars and flavored oxygen... but mainly I miss you old friend until we meet again!

Gary gave me my first job in the printing industry, working as a CSR at TransAmerica Printing. I will always be grateful to him for believing in my abilities, and for being one of the best bosses a person could ask for. My heart goes out to Melanie, his children, and all those who know and love him. RIP boss.

Sorry Melanie to you and the whole family. Will be able to give you hug tomorrow and you all will remain in our prayers.

Gary, you will forever be in my heart. You made us laugh, you held us when we hurt. You were always and will always be my cousin, friend and protector. Fly High. Your baby cousin Susan

I as so sorry to hear of your loss. What a tragic thing to happen. I saw him just a few days ago at the park with Tigger.

Gary always caught more fish than me. This one time fishing for trout below Smith Dam he didn't, it was a tie. We did not catch a thing. Going to miss Gary Big Time.

I have a special nick name for Gary "Green Thumb Gary" his tomatoes were always a liilte better than mine I will miss Gary big time. It hurts, God will get us thought.

My condolences to his family. "Bonzo" was an old aquaintance of mine and my late wife's, and the last of former owners of The Burley Earl's.
