Read MoreAs a young attorney out on my own I had the good fortune to choose to rent an office down the hall from Gaylor. From 2011 until I moved to northern Michigan in 2017 he was a great friend and mentor, always willing to share his wisdom and knowledge, always quick with a smile and a joke. He was generous and kind, and I will miss him greatly.

Gaylor was humble, compassionate, generous, and funny...very funny. We had our offices in the same building and I always looked forward to running into him, sharing a joke or a story and checking in to see how he was doing.

You have left this world way too soon Gaylor. You will be dearly missed.
All of my best and prayers to Gaylor's family. He was a very good man and...

Gaylor was always very friendly and compassionate to the clients on our unit at Pine Rest when he would come to meet for court orders. He would always stop and talk with staff and ask about families and other things of interest. He had a good heart and will be greatly missed by our staff and clients and I am sure as well by the legal team he worked with.Prayers and thoughts are with family at this time.

Gaylor - Your sense of humor and humanitarian spirit will be greatly missed. You kept your ego in check and treated everyone as an equal.
