Janet, Ryan and Brendan,

There are no words Carol and I can say that even come close to how we feel for you about losing Gary as a wife and as a son. As a life-long friend of over 42 years for me and almost 20 years for Carol, we know there are no words to express to take away the hurt and pain to which you endure. I feel honored and priviledged to have been his friend for so many years.

Some men have substance, and some have style. Gary had both. We will never forget him. Our hearts and thoughts go out to you and we will do anything we can to help.

With All Our Love,
Steve & Carol
