Not sure what to say?

I loved both Gary and Harvey. I talked to them early almost every morning I gave them traffic reports, and weather reports from my semi truck all over the country. I quit K100 after Gary left.. It just wasn't the same. All my love to both families They were both great guys Love Ronda

So sad to hear the news of Gary´s passing. We were long time neighbors in Sylvania with him and his wife Joanie. They were great neighbors and friends. RIP and may you now be join with your loving wife. My Condolences go out to his children.

Condolences to Gary's loved ones. I'm so blessed to have enjoyed the Shores and Steele morning shows for so many years. God bless you Gary and may you rest in peace

Gary was a wonderful man, good friend and always warm, fun and truly cared about how you were doing in life. Most of our time together was spent in side splitting laughter. I will always remember our good times together with him, Joanie and Harvey. A wonderful group of people that will be greatly missed.

I honestly have to say Gary was the reason why the Bedford charity car show was such a huge success. I would go to the studio and Gary and I would chat about that car show which was all about charity for literally 20 minutes to a half hour on air Gary was truly one of the nicest people you ever wanted to know and I am so sad to have learned of his passing.

He and his wife Joanie were are neighbors for 1 1/2 years and they were the best. He was funny generous, and kept me in stitches with his short stories.

Many years ago I would call in to K-100 every week and do a live spot with Gary and Harvey for my restaurant. I always looked forward to that weekly chat because you would never know what would happen. It was a lot of fun and they always made it easy. No one ever thought it was an ad and that was what made them a hit on the radio. Gary and Joanie would always stop in when there was a nearby car show- he loved his cars. There is a new voice in heaven. Rest in peace

Gary was not just a d j too me I met him at masonic now stranhan years ago talked too him and Harvey. At least once a week he was a very special guy and I will miss him so much I always asked cliff how he was and give him my prayers and love I know heaven will not be the same. God bless your family.

I will always remember Gary as one of the good guys, he was funny, charming, a great conversationalist, and a great guy to be around. I enjoyed talking car with him, especially his beautiful cars, his eyes would lite up like mine did. Unfortunately with out a lung transplant we knew this sad sad day was coming. You will be missed by all who knew and loved you my friend, enjoy all the Love and peace.
