I went to high school with Gary. He was always a gentleman with a good sense of humor. I remember him as liked by his fellow students and an avid golfer. I am so happy that he and Theresa had so many years together.

One of the best people I've know. He was a great business man and was a great friend. I regret that we just learned of his passing. Teresa, you're in our prayers.

Gary was a dear friend of mine, always very kind and caring. I believe Gary was a blessing to his family and friends and assuredly be missed. No doubt God welcomed Gary at the Gates of Heaven where he was reunited with his beloved son Curt and other loved ones.
