Dear Donna and Family,
I just learned of Gary's passing and I am so very sad to read this. We worked together at RMS for a year, 2004 I think and he was a wonderful person to sit next to and learn from. In fact, as we all know, his great passion was Baseball!! In fact we would talk about Baseball all throughout the day...he was an umpire and my son played little league in Boyertown. He was so happy that my son was a Yankee fan, Gary even bought my son his very 1st Yankee baseball...

My kids grew up playing baseball at Lower Nazareth. The program had the success it had due to the hard work from Gary. Didn't always agree with him, but admired his dedication to the program and the kids. Thanks RIP

Knew Gary from the Recreation Center, sometimes we disagreed any sometimes not. Respected his commitment and passion to the young people. Years later my husband did some work for Gary and Donna. They were very kind to him and gave us a lot of outdoor furniture to use at our campsite in Canada. He will be missed . . .

Gary,
Although we were not living in the area for the past 16 years until recently, you always remained in our hearts.
Enjoyed the many conversations we had on every topic imaginable and even though we often disagreed I always respected that you took the time to listen.
Thanks for all the memories you gave us.
I hope God is a Red Sox fan and you can continue talking about the thing you loved the most, baseball, and of course the Yankees.
Love you big guy,
Matt, Sue and Jacob...
