Not sure what to say?

My deepest condolences on Gary´s passing. Just out of the blue, I had thoughts of Gary this evening and decided to Google his name. That´s when I discovered his obituary. Gary and I had gone through training together at Benj. Franklin S&L in 1973. He was one of the nicest individuals I have ever known. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. With deepest sympathy, Ernie Bulhoes

God has brought another member of the Downing family home to rest. Peace and tranquility is his reward, may we all meet again in heaven.

I am so sorry Gary had to go through such a traumatic illness. He was such a good, kind man, always eager to help others. We know where he is, that he is free of pain, and that we will be with him again.

When I started with Benj. Franklin out of college in 1979 as a trainee I had some opportunities to interact with Gary and I always came away impressed by his calm, reassuring nature and approach to the role of the branch manager. I hope his family and loved ones are at peace with his passing.
