Not sure what to say?

Really enjoyed visiting with him in Fireplace Room. Such a kind , intelligent, loving family man.

I remember this gentle,kind man. I watched him in church while Pastor Peggy spoke. So much love and respect in his eyes. I've always missed him and loved Peggy.

Hi Peggy,
Nola and Ken Owen posted a link to the guest book on Facebook. I was excited to find it still up and running. Gary and I hope this finds you well and enjoying your congregation. We have started our journey with our new pastor, Joey Novak. We were ready for him becuase of the great guidance and spiritual leadership you and Mary Anne gave us over the years.

I think of Gary often and how I only wish I had spent more time getting to know him. What an awesome human being...

We think of you often Peggy and had a math question the other day and both of us said-- Wish we could ask Gary! Miss ya Nola and Ken

I am so sorry for your loss ... I was a student of his back at Beal City and he was my coach in Basketball. Even after he moved to Shepherd High school I found time to visit and keep in touch by mail with him for a few years ... then we lost touch. :( He was an amazing teacher, coach and friend, I regret not keeping in contact through the years. He made a huge difference in my life and in so many others along the way... May he rest in peace. Peggy and family, hold the memories and lessons...

Dear Peggy and family, I'm so sorry to hear about Gary. I didn't know him personally, but through you and the stories you told, I could tell he was a really good guy and that you two had a very special relationship. Couples who have that kind of relationship are blessed. I pray that you and your family can find comfort and peace of mind to help you through this sad time.

Peggy and Family,
Times like this are never easy but God imparts strength in us to bear through the sadness. I didn't know Gary personally but what I learned about him proved that he was a rare gift from God. Remember to always keep the loving memories alive.

Peggy and family, I am so sorry for your lost. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Peggy & Family: I just learned of Gary's passing. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I admired the love you and Gary shared as well as with your family. You are in my prayers.
