Hard to believe Gary has been gone so long. There´s not a week that goes by I don´t think of him. He made me laugh so hard I would cry. He was truly a joy to know. I know he adored his children as he spoke of them often. I am truly blessed to have my path cross Gary´s. He was a friend that I will remember always. I can only hope to be as good a person as Gary. Love you my friend.

Gary has been our Pittsburgh Paint rep for many years here at Douglas & Son in Kalamazoo. He was one that was always good to see, and was such a hard working people loving guy. He was a friend to all of our staff, and was very responsive to all of our technical needs. He always went the extra mile to sell paint for us, and was such a confident professional salesman. PPG lost a real asset in the West Michigan market, and we lost a good friend. I feel truly blessed to have known him, and know that there is a special place in heaven for his smiling face.

My deepest sympathy to Gary's family. I have very fond memories of playing little league baseball at Hiawatha Park & schoolyard basketball at Dever with Gary. We also played H.S. football at Holy Cross & intramural football at DePaul Univ. Gary always made you laugh & feel good about having him as a buddy. He will be missed by many of his long time boys. God Bless the Ozog family & may he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to Gary's family from a long time friend. My earliest memories of Gary were of playing baseball at Hiawatha Park & basketball on the Dever Public school playground. Gary always played hard & lived his life the same way - lots of laughs & good memories. We went to high school & college together & played softball & intramural football at De Paul. We also celebrated with a few beers when the game was over. I'll miss him & his always friendly smile. God Bless You Gary - Herb Freundt

To the Ozog family, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of Gary. I was lucky enough to first meet Gary 15 years ago as my new PPG rep and I'm glad to say we became friends. He shared many stories of all of you over the years and I know he loved all of you very much. I cared about Gary a great deal and he will be missed by many. He always had a smile and a story, and he always left you feeling better about yourself. He was a good man and his impact in my life will never be forgotten.
