For those who knew him the following depicts who Gary was.
The energy misplaced, goals undefined
Talents not used and mind unchallenged..
Have left you a searcher in life..
Not a doer
If there had been direction early…
To what heights you could have soared!
Gary enjoyed hunting, playing cards and spending time with his friends. He is survived by his longtime companion of 18 years, Susan James; daughters, Gina Wiegman and Jodi (Bob) Feierabend; sisters, Diane Cole, Jennifer (Dan) Mousseau, Collene Cole, Candi (Ron) Welch; and brother, Kevin (Jennifer) O'Connor; grandchildren, Marina, Cole, Lydia, and Perry along with grandchildren of choice, Hanna and Billy; and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to extend thanks to those at Genesys for their specialare and kindness, and to his home caregiver, Jesse.

My brother, a friend of Gary's, died Sept. 17, 2010. They are probably together causing trouble and having a blast. They both will be remembered as a lot of fun and the "good guys". The family has our prayers and sympathy. The Howard Madison Family

I am very sorry to read of your loss. When we suffer a loss it is very painful we often feel helpless an alone. I have found comfort knowing that our loving Creator cares for us. Psalms 147:3 says" He is healing the brokenhearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots."
