Gary Jon Wallesen

Hey Marine. You were a good man and a good friend. Thanks for taking me under your wing when I was young and needed some guidance. Even though our association was just for a few years I have thought of you often and the things you taught me. You will be sorely missed. Semper Fi Gary. Jim Thomasson, former grunt, USMC

I've missed you so much this past year. This Christmas season has been so silent without your beautiful music and happy spirit. You are alway's in my mind and heart. I love you forever, plus eleven.

It's Valentine's day... I'm thinking of you and miss you so much.. This is the first holiday without you. You alway's remembered every holiday and would surprize me with something and alway's made each holiday so unique and special. I love you Gary.

Thank you all for your wonderful words and remembrances of my father. I grew up with him playing "Yessir That`s My Baby" we sang it together all the time. It seems we each have our favorite song to remind us of him. I miss you Dad....but "I`ll be seeing you..."

Debbie, Judy, and Jon -
We are Anne and Henry Skupin of Houston. Gary and Sande were our best friends when we lived in the West side of Houston in Alief. Things have changed a bit around here since you guys all moved to Boise. I suspect you remember some of those exciting gatherings at the Assension Episcopal Church on Westheimer. Gary was always the center of attention and could fix anything!! Judy used to babysit Rebecca and Hank. We all now live near downtown Houston in the Heights....

You always acknowledged Bill & myself. Sometime ago you gave Bill a marine momento which pleased him. At your memorial service I was able to acquire a cd that you made and that will be my keepsake...Gary, you will be remembered for many years to come as you touched so many lives.
