Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure of working for Gary for a number of years at the gas station on Westside Hwy. it was my first real job and Gary was a great boss, I enjoyed working for him! My father, Don Marko also worked for him for many of years. He was a great guy that will be missed. Sorry for the Mellema´s family loss

Gary was such an awesome sponsor for sports teams in the area. Honest, caring, giving, kind....I could go on and on. I feel truly blessed to have known him and his family. Condolences to the Mellema family and RIP Gary. You left a great legacy here on earth.

I´d like to comment that my father Don Marko worked for Gary for a number of years. He had nothing but good things to say about Gary. He thoroughly enjoyed working for him. We were touched to see Gary and Mrs Mellema at dads funeral service . That act spoke volumes about their relationship and we were very touched. He will truly be missed.

Rest in peace Gary... I was honored to work for you. You were a good man and I am glad our life paths gave me the chance to know you.

Penny and family, what a life he lived. You have a lot to be proud of. I'm sorry we can't enjoy our loved ones forever on earth. I know you're surrounded by a loving family. Linda Keller
