To Myrna and Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I always enjoyed talking to Gary at different functions. He always made me feel very welcome in your home. Jeff and Craig let me know if you need anything.

Gary was my Dad's (Armand Atkinson) favorite nephew. When Gary was little they would hunt and fish together. He was always proud of Gary's accomplishments. As a younger cousin I always looked up to him. We always had fun at family get togethers at our Grandparents home. You have my deepest sympathy.

When I think of Gary - I smile without even realizing what I'm doing. Believe that's a compliment to him. He was wild and crazy in high school and didn't change much over time.
Sympathy to his entire family,
Cindy & Carroll Carley

Our thoughts & prayers are with the Gary Atkinson family. Gary was a classmate with my Mother, Barbara J. Enlow-Allen and I met Gary & his wife at their "WHS 50th Class Reunion"! He will be missed by all who knew him. Our deepest sympathy.

Before there was WWJD? there was What Would Gary Do? WWGD!
There are so many wild and crazy memories of our Dad. The man who proudly served his country and whom we traveled the world with! We were road warriors in the states and countries that his career took us to.Dad was never one to say no to a new opportunity. He raised his four children with a strong work ethic and passion for adventure, as well as a quest for knowledgeand what is now being passed on to his grandchildren.
This is not good-bye for Dad, Grandpa and Great-Grandpait is simply the next chapter. He and David are now sitting together, looking down on the rest of us, having a cocktail catching up on the past 6 years. Until we see you again
