Not sure what to say?

Gary and I were great golf competitors for many years, though he most often got the best of me. I can see his swing as I type. He was fun to be with and we played many Ohio courses together. He birdied the first hole in sudden death against me for the WWC Championship many years ago from the pine trees at Westwood --of course he did--because he was Gary and he did things like that! I am saddened by the loss of a fun friend.

This is for you Gary... I have many beautiful memories of you and Lynn. Thanks for touching a life and being a such a gracious person. May you have peace and eternal rest with God in Heaven! A Golfer´s Psalm The LORD is my caddie; I shall not whiff. He maketh me to drive straight down green fairways: He leadeth me over the still waters.

Gary you are a good friend and I loved playing golf with you. Bruce

Dear Lynn. You know I am very sorry for your loss. He tolerated his health problems and was able to fight them until this month, rarely complaining. The reality is a God or a Higher Power controls Life and Death. May he be at Peace, and as we say in Spanish " que brille para su Alma la Luz Perpetua" That the Eternal light shine on his Spirit.

Lynn, With our deepest sympathy we were sorry to hear of Gary's passing. Gary was a great guy. We had a lot of great memories with you guys. New Years, Halloween parties, etc. Plus many year's of golfing together. Lots of wonderful memories. Thinking of you all.

God has a plan and will bring you peace and His love to ease your pain. Remember all the wonderful times you shared with Gary. Remember he is no longer in pain; he is now at peace with his parents and is helping to watch over you all. I love you and keep you in my prayers. God Bless.

We had a memorable boat trip across Sandusky Bay with Gary and Lynn and arrived safely at their dock in the middle of a lighting storm...he will be missed. Steve and Janeen McClure

Dear Lynn, I´m real sorry for to hear of your loss. I must say you two made such a beautiful couple! Sincerely, Lorrie (Stanko) McWilliams
