GARY HOOPENGARDNER

A neighborhood, childhood friend, too soon gone. I knew Gary and all his family. His dad was our Cub Scout den leader. So very sorry for your family's loss.

I have had the pleasure on knowing Gary since he began working for ValleyCrest in the late 80's. We all called him "Hoop". Not just because on his long last name, but because he played a mean game of Basketball and had one heck of a jump shot. I am glad I was able to spend the last 21/2 years working with him the Gathering place for Tulsa project, We enjoyed our ritual Sunday breakfasts at which we shared stories of our experiences , families , sports and current events before starting a...

Even thought Gary and worked together for 25 years, he was family. Rest In Peace, Brother.

I only met Gary personally a few times as I am fairly new to the company. But I know Gary well from all of the amazing stories I have heard about him from those who have known him a long time. He is a tremendous loss for us. I pray that he rest in peace and I pray that his family finds peace in his loss as well.

Wow! This was way too soon. I knew Gary from Carroll high school wrestling team. He had a great attitude for the sport.
May God bless, comfort your family and friends in this time.

Gary was a great guy full of energy and passion. I had the opportunity to work with Gary for several years as one of his manufacturing friends. I always enjoyed Gary's colorful phone calls and needs. He will be missed but not forgotten rest in peace Gary I am glad I had the opportunity to know and work with you.

I am so sorry to lose this dear friend. I knew Hoopy from high school days at Carroll and was proud to be his friend. I never knew of a person who didnt like him and enjoy his company. He was always laughing and smiling and it seemed everyone gravitated to him. Im sorry he has passed.

To Gary's family, please know that our heart is broken to hear of Gary's passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Sara and Uncle Chuck Liggett, Edon, Oh.
