When I first met Gary I shed tears of happiness because Sue found happiness. I know shed tears of sadness because we lost a good friend and a good man. We feel grateful we got to know him and what a truly special person he was. He had a special gift of loving life and welcoming friendships. May the angels wrap their arms around you, Gary, and may Sue have comfort knowing the love you had for her and give her peace.

My sincerest sympathies on the loss of Gary. My condolences to you and the family at this time of sorrow. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

To my dear cousin Gary, It was always a pleasure to see you and Susan at the Grace Church Middleburg Hts car show in the most recent past few summers. I know the car show will miss you and your welcoming smile.

So sorry to of Gary's passing. We had been friends since about 1964 while in the Navy together. What great times we had. Later in life we enjoyed golf a couple times a year with him being a Browns fan from Cleveland and I a Steeler fan from Pittsburgh. We will really miss him. May God take him in his arms.
