Gary Hayden Cain

I first met Gary at the Buckingham Inn on a night with my dad. We started talking and spent a couple hours together, laughing mostly. There are times in life when you meet someone and right away you know you will be friends. I'm proud to say Gary was my friend. Over the years when I saw him, no matter how long it had been, we picked up like we had seen each other yesterday. Good friends are like that I think. We skied,flew his balloon,golfed,played on many lakes, and spent hours always...

Nancy:
We ALL on Riverbrooke miss Gary and seeing you two arrive each winter hauling your TOYS behind you.
My last memory of Gary, was the day before you left Florida to begin the long drive back to Michigan. Gary was showing me the "Motorhome" with all the bells and whistles. What a ride!!!
Then of course, the trailer that held the real rides, your bikes!!!

Larry & I walk our girls (Priscilla & Gidget) by your Riverbrooke house every single day and then one us says...

Nancy,

It is hard to say good bye to my cousin Gary. Gary understood life and knew how to live life to the fullest.He could have authored the saying I learned several year ago. "Life is a Journey not a Destination"

I will never forget him.

Gary - it's been a year and I still can't believe that you're gone. You kicked my butt at golf last summer and then didn't make it to the rematch scheduled for October 6th. Keeping the bragging rights just isn't fair! I miss the happiness and true enjoyment that you had with life. I was never around you when you weren't smiling. Your personality was contageous. I just couldn't help but to be in a good mood around you. You've taught me life lessons that I'll never forget. Thank you for...

We've known Gary over 28 years. When he started dating our daughter Lauraine & I were alittle apprensive about the age difference.
Gary welcomed our family into his life and his numerous homes. We got to share some hunting trips with him. He always tried to ice fish, but could never stand getting cold. When he did catch that "slab"...everyone heard it and saw it ..of course it was bigger than what anyone else caught....that was Gary!
When Gary & Nancy married it was a very proud...

As one one of Gary's golfing buddies at West Bay Club, we will miss him always. He is still with us every Tuesday when we play golf. We talk about the good times and laughs we had with Gary on the golf course. He was a true friend and full of life and our foursome will never be the same without him.

Nancy,
I have to say I never saw a married couple for as many years you were married that enjoyed each other as much as you two did. How refreshing that was. He was one of a kind let me tell you. You never knew what might come out of his mouth which sometimes you were in shock...other times you bent over in stitches laughing.
A great business man and a very good looking man also.
You were very fortunate Miss Nancy to have had the years you had with him and he is missed very...

Gary's kindness knew no limits! His broad and genuine smile filled the rooms he entered and his joy and zest for life was truly something to be admired! He has left a permanent 'bright' spot in my heart!
