Not sure what to say?

Randi, I'm so sorry to learn of Gary's passing. I was surprised to know he had been ill when I saw you at the play. I'm glad you had time to enjoy. I'm sure you brought the humor of that evening and so much more home to him. I had looked for you after that evening and never came up with the correct results.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, Shannon and your extended family.
Fondly, Dawn

On behalf of myself and the entire Business First family, we send our deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the family of Gary Houk.
Gary and I served on the board of the Business Technology Center, now TechColumbus, for more than six years. Gary was a great guy and an important member of our Central Ohio technology community.
He will be missed.

Dear Randi, Shannon & Houk Family,

We were so saddened to hear of Gary's passing. It's just too unfair for someone so young. Growing up as cousins, we truly had a blast together as kids and always strived to cause a 'little' trouble. (Does anyone have a photo where we didn't cross our eyes and stick out our tongues?)

Mom so appreciated Gary's visit a while ago at the nursing home too. Brought back so many memories.

We loved Gary and want you to know our thoughts and...

Randi,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am in California with my daughter and will not be home until next week. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and Shannon and sending hugs, caring thoughts, and wishes for strength your way.
Gary was a great, great person. I am so deeply sorry, words cannot express.
Take care of yourself.

Our hearts and prayers are with Randi, Shannon and the Houk Family.
In Deepest Sympathy,

Randi - I am very sorry to hear of Gary's passing. Unfortunately I am out of the country at the Sheffield office and will not be able to attend the funeral or calling hours. I have been employed at OCLC for over 20 years and worked with Gary on many projects. I was also fortunate enough to have Gary as my boss for several years. He was a great mentor and leader. He will be missed by OCLC staff and the many people he worked with and helped in the Dublin Community. Condolences to you and...

I had only known Gary for a short time, but during that time I recognized what a kind and caring person he truly was. He will be missed.

I was very fortunate to have met Gary through our membership at Wedgewood, we served together on our Board, and participated in some of the most wonderful and unbelievable competitive golf matches throughout the years, ALL of which I will never forget. No matter what Gary ever did or ever touched, he did it with integrity and with a first class touch. Gary will be extremely missed by ALL and my prayers and thoughts are extended to Randi, Shannon and all of Gary's family.

Gary will truly be missed. I have many great memories growing up with Shannon and spending time with Randy and Gary.
