Donna and Derrick- my condolences to you and the entire family. Gary's smile always brought a smile to my face, along with admiration. He was always on the move and such a hard worker. He leaves a great legacy with all of you. And the Town was so well served by him. We will miss him. My deepest regards

May you find peace in the wonderful memories you have.

To the family of Gary, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Gary. Just 2 months ago I stopped at Autumn Mist Farm leaving a message to give to Derrick to let Gary know I was asking about him. We go way back to the Wesson Memorial Hospital. State and High Streets. let's see, 1978 that's when I got there. In the mid 80's, Wesson Memorial and Springfield Hospital merged to become Baystate Medical Center. All of Wesson employees had to go to Springfield Hospital. I saw Gary almost every day...

Sincere condolences to the Turnbull family . I am thankful to have had the pleasure to know and work with Gary. He truly was an inspiration to everyone he met. Thank you Gary, rest in peace.

Our condolences to the family. I will truly miss a Sunday phone call from Gary. Thru out the years he always checked to make sure we were doing alright.

Love Jay & Ev Pelley

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I never met Gary in person, but he called me everyday when my husband was in a coma and during his recovery. Gary was my rock for 3 months. He asked me a question one day and I will never forget it. I knew after he asked the question, he was a true honest to God GREAT PERSON. I still cry thinking about that day he asked. He always said if there was anything that him or his wife Donna could help with they would. I truly knew it and appreciated their...
