Friendships made here on earth will be taken up in heaven. Gary was a delightful person, always a smile and kind word. I was surprised also to hear of Gary's illness. We are all on our individual Journeys here on earth, it's good to meet good people along the way.
Peace

TO THE FAMILY OF GARY SPITZ,
I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER MY CONDOLENCES TO THE ENTIRE SPITZ FAMILY.
I WORKED WITH GARY AT EILEEN HOPE FROM 1964 UNTIL IT WAS TAKEN OVER BY KEN REIZES. GARY WAS THE ONE PERSON WE REALLY MISSED. I COULD WRITE A BOOK ON THE MANY,MANY LAUGHS WE SHARED. THERE WERE MANY JOKES PLAYED ON EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY BETWEEN THE INTERSTATE TRUCK DRIVERS AND GARY.
HE WAS NOT ONLY FUN, HE WAS A GREAT PERSON AND I AM GLAD THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW HIM.

I WORKED WITH GARY AT EILEEN HOPE IN DUNCANNON.HIS LOVE FOR LIFE FOLLOWED HIM ALL OF HIS LIFE. HE ALWAYS MADE US SMILE. I'M SURE HE IS SMILING DOWN AT US NOW.

Dearest Charlotte & Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Gary. He was a great person and I enjoyed knowing him. My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family. Take care of yourself. Love Gwen

Larry and Mark and the entire Spitz family, I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He was quite a character. The service was absolutely lovely and boy did he have friends! Please know he is in a better place and watching out for you all. My love and peace are with you at this really tough time.

Love,
Jill Liberman

My condolences to his beloved family. I had the honor of knowing Gary since working at PHFA 7 years ago. I will surely miss him dearly. He was very happy and spoke highly of his grand children. I sympathize with all who knew him and worked with him. My prayers are with your family and friends.

Dear Charlotte, Larry, Mark and Jeff;
We are deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Gary's passing. Gary's smiling face and jovial manner will always be in our memory. I'll never forget the Sunday morning softball games years ago. Charlotte, we wish we could be there to support you. Gary will be truly missed by all who knew him. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Charlotte, Marty and I only heard of Gary’s illness last week so this sad news is just so hard to comprehend. Our deepest sympathy goes to you and your boys. Gary clearly loved this community we loved him right back. His humor and strong presence will be sorely missed by us all. May his memory be for a blessing.

Spitz Family: I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Gary's death. I worked with him for Eileen Hope in Duncannon and in the past several years, he would call me for delinquent tax information for Perry County taxpayers. The last I spoke with him, he told me he was not interested in retirement because his only hobby was opening the refrigerator door!! Typical Gary. I truly am very sad and I extend my sympathy to all your family.
