Dear Family, May G-D open his arms for Gary. He always made me feel like a friend. I knew him in high school. Always a Class Act.
Proud to have known him.

My thoughts our with you and your family

We were surprised and saddened to learn of Gary's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you have of him.

Our deepest regards to The Handwerker Family.
We have lost a remarkable man. Gary was the kind of guy you would like the moment you met him. He was funny, respectful, generous, wise and above all caring. I loved hearing about his hobbies and especially his humorous stories. Gary was a genuine character and has left us with incredible memories and a legacy that is not only hard to beat but unmatchable. He will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathies go to your family. Bobby always made you feel as if he were thinking about you at all times. He remembered everything that was happening in your life and wanted to update as he talked. I will miss him and his stories forever, Godspeed Bobby, I know Heaven will enjoy your company.

To my friend, Bobby:

I know that you have moved to a higher place that may need you more. However, your sudden departure has left a huge void within me and others that cannot be filled. I MISS YOU!

I feel blessed and very lucky to have been fortunate enough to know you for almost 20 wonderful years. Thank you for sharing part of your life with me, I am forever grateful. You have enriched my life and taught me many lessons about life. You have guided me numerous times...

Gary made me feel part of his family. He was a special person whom I felt privileged to have known.

Auntie Shelia and the Family,

From all of those hanukkah and fourth of july parties, We can't remeber the last time we saw Uncle Gary without a smile on his face. Those parties just won't be the same without him. We'll miss him alot, and you guys will be in our prayers.

Our deepest condolences,

Matthew and Lucas Kalish
