Not sure what to say?

I know the passing of such a vibrant man will leave a great gap in the lives of his friends and family. Thoughts and prayers to all he knew

Dear friend and family man, as well as a great ambassador to the plastics industry. There will always be an open seat up at Pickle Point waiting for you...

Gary was a real asset to the Plastic Distribution Industry. We always enjoyed his outlook on life. I remember when on an IAPD expedition he delighted Mrs.Conway with his knowledge of Winter wines. We always had a few chuckles when he visited ACI Plastics. We'll remember him in our prayers.

Dear Sharon and Family, Rod and I send our deepest condolences. We were so happy to share the neighborhood with delightful Gary. We were thankful to have our bit of time together. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time.

So sorry to all my cousins and their family. I have nothing but wonderful memories of Gary. Wether we were at Busi's or Aunt Trudy's, he always made me laugh! I cannot attend but will be with you all in spirit. Love, Dianne

Gary,you will be missed.It always was a great pleasure working with you. My sympathies to the Derethik family and friends.

Rest in peace Gary. So many fun memories. So glad I went to NYC with you and Sharon a few years back. You lived life to the fullest. Thank you for being in our lives. My sympathies to Sharon and children.

I am very saddened to hear of Gary's passing. I always enjoyed talking with him and shared his sense of humor. I will miss Gary and so will the world he lived in.

Gary was a legend in our industry. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.
