Not sure what to say?

You and Nancy were my second family. I loved you all and you should know that you raised two wonderful, compassionate, caring and most importantly, LOVING kids/friends I was so privileged to know. Youll always be in my heart with Greg.

For Gary's Family, Gary is a treasured friend from childhood who has been so good about maintaining contact tho we have seen each other only on the rare occasions when we have both been in Westfield at the same time. He is one of the "good guys" and will be greatly missed. He will be with us in treasured memories.

I was one of Gary's nurses. He was a wonderful person and we had great conversations. I will miss his great smile, his thought provoking conversations and his many interests. He touched my life. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He was so proud of his son and family. He loved life and wanted to live but was ready for his Savior. He will be greatly missed. A nurse, Beth

Gary was a wonderful friend and a great father. I got to know him through coaching John in hockey and then even more through our luncheon times together over the last 24 years.
He will be missed.

Gary was a warm and kind man, his strength, courage and reliance on a Higher Power through much of his own sorrow and loss, has helped me deepen my faith. My prayers are with his friends and family now. It is with tears of both sorrow and joy, that I image him finally going home to be greeted by his beloved son.

Gary's honesty and willingness to be a good friend was much appreciated in our lives. His kindness and mentorship have been a big influence. We loved him and will miss him. Sincerely, Doug and Kathy VanderGalien

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.
