Not sure what to say?

Gary is my wifes (Penny) dad. I first met him in 1987, when Penny invited me home from college to meet him and her mom, Sabra. I was nervous and apprehensive, of course, but Gary was so kind, open, and friendly, I felt welcomed from the moment I walked in the door. His generosity and kindness was constant. Over time, I learned Gary could recall and tell a joke (corny, but still groan-funny in the way only your dad can do), just to lighten the mood and get a laugh. He was always seeking...

Honestly, he was the best grandfather anyone could ask for. I loved visiting him on the weekends when I was little, and he was always so happy. When I heard the news, I was in disbelief.

One of the pleasures of working at Pepsi the daily exposure to Gary. He was always happy and polite. I will forever remember him.

Gary was one of my team members while he worked at Pepsi-Cola in checking/shipping/receiving. We had more fun with movie/show trivia so many laughs to tears
his face beaming red. He was known to me as my munchkin, a good friend.

Gary worked at the theater owned by my family, the Guild. I was the candy girl and sold tickets. He was just the best...fun, funny, sincere, kind, and more. I remember Sabra too. He loved her dearly. We've lost a good man. Linda Longtin McCurdy

My mentor, teacher and good friend; Thank You.
