Not sure what to say?

Way too soon indeed Gary! Never want to lose the ones we care so much about. So glad we got to visit at the last family reunion. you will be missed by all. Love you always, Cousin Katie

Even though we never met, my wife Liz and I heard much about Gary from our friends Debbie and Scott. He seems to have been a great guy who enjoyed life and the outdoors. Our son Nicholas, who died on Nov. 23rd, would have liked meeting him. Since Nicholas was thought of as Deb's second son and brother to Scott, we think of Scott as our second son. The last month and a half have been especially difficult for Deb and Scott, who are in our thoughts and prayers. I am sure Gary and Nicholas will...

Don't know if I thanked you(enough) for teaching me to throw the javelin when we were in high school. You may have been a year younger but you came off as the strong, silent, older-brother type with a big smile. Was hoping I'd run into you over the years but I guess I was gone too much of the time. God Bless You, Gary

G~You were the best bro-in-law I could ever ask for. We bonded good and I liked that! The best times beyond our improptu "magic show" of course was the boat shopping which seemed to go on forever. . .so many to look at & so little time and the 3 of us never could agree. Funny how life turns out my friend. Loved you so much you crazy guy and just not enough time to share with you. My love & understanding always. - Connie

So sorry I didn't get to say goodby to you in person. I wanted to tell you thank you for giving me the most precious gift anyone can give another and that is our son, Scott. He has grown to be a wonderful man, and I am so very proud of him as I am sure you are also. I have so many memories of cleaning your game, and still laugh at that stupid pigeon. I know Uncle Ray is finally sharing his pickled stealhead recipe with you. Boy what I wouldn't give for a taste of that right now. We tried to...

Too soon to lose you, we never got to see you often enough, especially after moving to Montana. We will cherish the time we visited at the family reunion in CDA. Love you forever, Clare and Jo Ann

I remember working with Gary When he started at Boeing in the wing line. He was a great person to work with. I know that he will be missed greatly by his many friends and family.

I will always miss you my friend. I have so many wonderful memories and so many great times with you!! I am so glad you are not suffering anymore. You are whole again, Gar. I love you. Julie

I miss you like no other, dear brother. Better start practicing that golf game because when I get there, I plan to give you a whuppin on the golf course.
Give Grams a big hug and kiss from me; I really miss her. Ray Stender probably already knows where all the good steelhead fishing is in heaven so make sure you look him up. With Ray, Sam and Flossie, you should have a hunting trip to die for (no pun intended). Look for Ray where the fair wind blows.
