My father was a great man. I remember that in all that he did, his concern were for others. I was amazed as I got older of how many people's lives he touched. When I was a kid, I could remember dad talking and reaching out to so many people everyday. I didn't know them, but they sure knew him! Also, what he believed in moved me to go beyond what was "comfortable". I learned to really live. I am proud that he reached out to so many like he did; it's what life is here for. I love and admire my father, and will miss him dearly.

Margaret, Tina and Gary, we always just loved Gary so much for himself and for his love of our Lord. We always looked forward to his visits in the Spring when he would come to Bowling Green for the DFD week long conference. He would always come to Toledo and spend an evening with us. We would talk and share memories of days gone by until 1 or 2 in the morning. I also loved talking on the phone to Gary. I am so glad I had the pleasure of talking to him a few weeks ago before his last stay at the hospital. You all will be in our prayers.
