To the Ciccone Family,
I am extremely sorry for you loss. May God give you peace during this difficult time. To hear that Gary passed was hard for a lot of people because he was a man who touched the lives of all the people he came across. He was such a caring, compassionate person and when he would speak about his family he would glow so bright I swear he'd light up the room. He was filled with SO much joy talking and sharing pictures of his grandchildren. Gary took into special consideration to listen and get to know everyone he came across. He was such a personable person. Always asking about my daughter or when I'll be paying for my mother's lunch.. I chuckle even typing that! He was always willing to give a helping hand in any way he could. He will ALWAYS be remembered and may the life he lived be celebrated.

We knew Gary because of his work with the Special Olympic skaters and the Off Beat Players. His huge smile and warm hugs always brightened the day. My daughter , Anna Carta, positively beamed whenever she say him. I only know Brian, but from this I'd say a great light has not gone out, but has simply been passed on to another generation.
