Not sure what to say?

Gary was my classmate in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. We were the second class to integrate in 1966-67. Gary helped me get thru the discomfort of being in a new school. This was his Home Town. He knew a lot (if not all) of the peiple we were with Monday-Friday. I moved there after being at the same school for 11 years. He helped me get thru the dog days of 1967 with his smiles, jokes, and friendship. We were also Broth in Christ. God knew I would need him at some point in my life. Gary...

JoAnn, you have my deepest sympathies, and Prayers. Gary was a great Friend, that I will miss very much. He always made me feel, as if I was important, and that he was interested in what I had to say. That was very sweet of him, and meant a lot to me. Things WILL get better, and we all walk with you,in Love and Blessings. God take care of you. Rosa

I attended the Church in Nashville, Arkansas and he attended the one in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. Gary was always the clown in...

A man of character, honor and dignity and oh so full of wisdom. It was obvious that he loved his wife and family dearly and told me a few tales that made me laugh. Gary taught me to be a little more patient and not to let the little things get to me. He diversified my world in a way that changed me for the better and I will forever be grateful. I will always miss the kind way he answered the phone and will miss the many chuckles he sent my way. He was so kind to me and my son and always...
