Read MoreI was saddened to hear about Gary. He used to deliver our office mail with a hello, a smile, and a wave every day. Such a very happy man to see daily, and he did his job well. He is missed.

Watanabe Family,
I am so sorry for your loss! Gary worked for me at both Millcreek and Hollady Post Office and he was a great carrier and a kind man! He was too young to leave all of you but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. And remember that "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Watanabe family,
I worked with Gary years ago and he left a wonderful impression on me. His spirit of goodness spread to all around him. Though I hadn't seen him in years I will always think fondly of Gary, a wonderful man.

Dear Watanabe Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Gary. I went to school with Gary and will always have fond/fun memories of him. He was one of the best! His fun loving personality will always be remembered.

Gary Buddy!
He was one of the good ones. I don't think there was anyone that didn't like and respect Gary. He was one of the few people I could call a friend from work. All of my love to his family. Know that he is with our Saviour and he will be waiting for when you all can be together again.

To the Watanabe Family: I am so sad to hear of Gary's passing. I thought of him often. I have a lot of happy memories and I am so glad to have known him. I worked with him at Pardners restaurant many years ago. I am sorry that we lost touch through the years. I know he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
