Not sure what to say?

I knew Gary for over 25 years, it hit me like a shot from a 44 to learn 10 months after he had been released from this mortal existence. He is and will be missed by me. Walk the red road in peace, my brother, see you later. Greet my father for me. Hoka hay. I wish I could have returned to the red rock country to have seen you again,

Gary was a fantastic friend. He was always giving me a bad time and enjoyed it every minute. He is a great friend his family is a part of my family and will forever be missed

Bernie and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for the memories.
Love you.

Dear Bernie and Family,

We are saddened to hear of the loss of Gary! He was a great, kind man! We send our deepest sympathy to you and your family! Love, Loretta Rosenberg, Hug, Julie, JoAnna and Jeanette

As a young boy (nearly 40 years ago!) I sat and watched Gary on the front porch of his house pick through an assortment of interesting looking rocks. He picked up a big, black, glassy one and started chipping away at it. After some time I realized what he was doing and I watched with amazement as that piece of black rock got smaller & smaller, sharper & sharper, and more & more detailed. He didn't say much, but that day Gary taught me how to make an arrowhead out of obsidian... Still one of...

We are sad at the loss of Gary. We are happy for him and know he will be busy and associating with Craig and other loved ones. We love you,Bernie, and your family.

I wish to send my thoughts and prayers to the family of Gary Tom. He was a business associate who we enjoyed meeting in Las Vegas at the Native American Economic Summit. I considered him a good friend. I will truly miss him.

Gary, I know you're in a better place and say hello to all our relatives on the other side.

I will miss Brother Tom. I only had a short time to meet and now him, but I know he was a true disciple of Christ.
