Not sure what to say?

I'm sorry to hear of Gary's passing. He was a good friend to me for many years after we met at Skinnys. My sympathy and condolences to the family.

Greg & Gordy, Condolences on the passing of Gary. Fred & I have many fond memories of all our childhood escapades growing up together on Aldon Street. May God bless you and grant Gary eternal rest.

Dear Family, On behalf of Godwin Golden G Our deepest sympathy. May Gary rest in peace

RIP GARY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ----Godwin class of 1964. USAF 1965-1969

I'm sorry we never met. Gary sounds like a great fellow. His being a GHS grad and a 4 year volunteers makes him great in my book !

Just a sad day! Gary and I were in Technical School at Keesler Air Force Base and also served in San Vito Italy together. Played football on the same team and being from Alabama of course there was always a lot of lip from my Michigan friend. We reconnected about fifteen years ago and pretty much talked weekly. My friend Gary had mellowed and expressed his relationship with God regularly which for me says it all. Rest in peace my friend and keep me on your prayer list Mama Smith.

I went to Godwin with Gary, he was a great kid, treated me good, nice guy. Rip

To Greg and family. I am so sorry for your loss. "Smitty", I will add Gary´s name to my prayer list. Again, all my best to you and family.

What a great loving, caring guy!! Always ready to help and laugh. He will truly be missed by our family
