Gary J. Goberville

A missing Star.
I the skies tonite a star is gone.
A star that held aBrilliant Light.
A light of warmth, of strength.
A light of love,and warm embrace.
The loss I feel is felt by many.
The loss of a brother, a friend.
a smiling face.
the heart and soul of a one true friend.
Gary you held the heart of a warrior,
the sage of a god. and the strength of atlas within you.
Hold on to the love, and Respect.
Of those who will miss you my...

Gary and I have been friends, professional and personal friends for 29 years, dating back to our early days in General Electric in Milwaukee, to our later days in Arizona and Michigan. Through all these years, we stayed in touch and followed each others dreams as we raise our families and pursued our careers.
We never lost touch across five cities for me, seven cities for him. Until now...
Like you, I wonder where my friend is needed more than we need him here and now.
But I...

Patti,

Our hearts go out to you and your children. Gary was truly a very special person. He'll always be remembered for honesty, genuine concern for people and love of family.

Gary had a way of touching those around him. Our lives are better because we knew him.

God Bless,

Marv & Sue Isles

Patty, JT, and Ellie,

We first met Gary and his lovely bride when Gary and Bill were serving in the U. S. Army in Kaiserslautern, Germany. As with us, Gary and Patty were newlyweds living thousands of miles away from family and familiar surroundings. It was very important to make friends in Germany especially for the young couples like we were at the time. This was over 30 years ago. We lost touch for some time and met again when we all ended up in Chicagoland.

Gary...

Patty, JT and Ellie,
How blessed you were to have Gary in your lives. Treasure each memory. Let friends and family give you comfort when you need it. Turn to the Lord when you feel the most despair. God bless you all.

Gary was an outstanding leader and human being and we will all miss him terribly

Patty, J T, and Ellie-

Just a note to let you know that I am so sad and I will miss Gary very much. He was the best "boss" and friend that I ever had. I talked to Bess and am comforted to know that Gary was able to get back home and be in the surroundings that he loved so much. He always spoke of all of you with so much love, what a special man he was. I'm sorry that I will not be able to attend the memorial here in Chicago as I will be out of town on a trip that was planned...
