Deb, I am so sorry to hear about Gary. He was so full of life, an amazing permanent smile and he was so much fun. I am unable to attend his wake but wanted you to know I am thinking about you and sending lots of love your way.
Love, Sheila (Muggs & Juggs Bowling League)

We were deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Gary. Please accept our heartfelt condolences during this incredibly difficult time. He was taken from life far too soon, and I cannot imagine the pain and grief you must be experiencing. We remember all the great times shared with both Gary and Debbie at the Blue Lantern restaurant where Gary had a whole host of friends. There was only one Gary Powers and he will be missed.
