Gary W. Jahns

I can't beleive it's been a whole year already. Seems like yesterday.

I love you and miss you Dad............

Pete beat me with our most fond memory of Gary enjoying himself with us. You just had to be there.
He will be missed by us and many.

A mutual childhood friend, Felix Kucenas, phoned me today to tell me of Gary's passing. My deepest sympathy and well wishes to all of his family. He was a wonderful person. We were great childhood friends, and shared many hours, days and years growing up on St Clair Av. We first met in 1950 and from then until 1963 saw each other nearly daily going to church or school to just hang out. Together we were fearless and bicycled, walked and bussed all over the "Metro-East" at ages which would...

Uncle Gary was the best uncle I ever had. I will always remember when I was younger and I would go to the Maryville Picnic with my parents he always told me that the people and town was throwing him a birthday party, parade, rides and all. Uncle Gary, you will be missed and your stories will be missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love Rhiannon

Gary was unkown by only a few but, you will be missed by many!
Here's to you!

Yesterday was the hardest Christmas of my life. Since I could no longer look my Dad in the eye and tell him Merry Christmas and how much I love him and give him a huge hug and see the warm smile of father to son. Not a day will go by that I won't think of you, my Dad, my Friend, my Teacher, my Coach and so much more no words can know.

I will miss and love you Forever..............

Gary was in my class at East St. Louis Sr. High School. He and I were in the same home room. The last time I saw Gary was in 2003 at our 40th class reunion. We sat at the same table and talked for hours. He was the picture of health at that time. I can't believe he's gone. Things can change quickly. I will sorely miss him at the next reunion. My condolences to his family.
