Lee, Linda, Peg - Jim Riegel's words about Gary ring clear and true. Gary was indeed a gentleman, a sportsman, and fine family man.
Lee: You and your brother are cut from the same cloth. You can be proud of your rich, full lives. To all of Gary's family: Suzi and I send our condolences and best wishes. Terry Goodrich

Linda, words cannot express how sorry I was when my dad told me of Gary's passing. I remember fondly all the times you and he came up to me after church and we got to chat, whether it be about music, my career, or my mom's own illness with cancer. They are times I will forever cherish. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

Linda and Family,
I was so sorry to here that Gary had lost his fight with cancer. I can tell you that Gary provided me an opportunity at Wesco that others may have denied. Gary was a fair and honest man who I could always count on for smile and good story. While he was my supervisor at Wesco we occaisionally had differences of opinion. He was also the man who showed me that it was ok to have differences, be angry but to respect others opinions and remain friends.To separate business...

Dear Linda and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I first met Gary, when we moved to Marshland Road and rode the school bus together to OFA, in our freshman year. Many wonderful memories of our school years together, and throughout the years. Pete and I extend our deepest sympathy.
