Gary Leo Traeger

I had the pleasure of meeting Gary while I was at work one day~He & I had a very nice conversation, as I sign too, something rather uncommon in a grocery store apparently. Won't ever forget his smile and pleasant personality; A gentle soul indeed, now will be missed. Here I had just been thinking about him recently, when I stumbled upon the news of his passing. Rest in Peace sweet friend... Heaven's gained another Angel, indeed. My condolences to the family as well. Love & Peace to you all.

I will always remember Gary as a gentle and sweet guy. I am thankful for our time together mining for gold with John McKenzie and Ron Johns in California wilderness during entire summer. We had a blast!! God rest your soul my good friend, Gary Traeger...

Sorry for your loss of Gary he's nice person from Oregon school for the deaf rose lones

I will always remember him as a great quarterback in our football team. He was a smart guy.

In the Traeger family loosing Joanie and Uncle Leo must have been hard enough for the family but I remember how well the whole family took on how they handle Gary's deafness as well. The entire family has so much love and strength for each other and in the care of Gary and I'm glad to be related and stay connected to them. We have had many great memories & laughs together with our families and we are so sad for Betty & the family & in what they have to go through. The Van Dykes send much love...
