Dear Stephens Family:
My prayers are with you. I just heard yesterday from a fellow County worker that Gary had passed. I was one of Gary's "customers" at the County, working at different agencies. Gary always helped me when others couldn't or wouldn't. He enjoyed doing that, and he was very good at that.

Dear Stephens Family:

I was saddened to learn of Gary's passing. I had the opportunity to get to know him when he came over to our building to work on our equipment. I enjoyed our conversations about boating and our favorite local restaurants. He always had time to talk about fun stuff.
Bless you all during this difficult time.

I was shocked and sadden when we were told about Gary. Gary was a good friend and coworker. He always had time to stop and say hello. I will miss seeing him in the halls of the Government Center. My prayers are with his family.

Dear Brooke,
We are deeply saddened over the loss of Gary. He was a wonderful guy who loved you and your Soroptimist activites as much as you did. He was the epitome of a Soropti-Mister!! We will miss him and remember the occassions we had with you both fondly.
Your friends,
Debbie & Bill

Brooke, My heart goes out to you and your family! Gary was the BEST! I will always cherish the pictures he took of our wedding and will think of him EVERY time I attend a Soroptimist event...he was a great "sound" man!! We love you dearly and are praying for you!!
