My thoughts are with you, your family and friends. The Conklin family has been a legacy to the Lynnwood area as we all remember the appliance store and the good family that ran it. I am also from the Meadowdale Class of 1970.

I have not spoke to Gary in a few and didn't know he was ill. I like everybody else will miss that smile and distinct laugh. I would not be where I am today if it wern't for him. My heart goes out to all the family in this time of loss.

Wow, I did not realize Gary was ill. I haven't seen him for maybe a couple of years. I have known Gary for many years. We did a lot of business together when he was running the appliance store. We even became partners in 1983 when we bought KRKO in Everett. I am saddened by his loss. He was a fun, fun guy. I would like to know if a service will be held for him - I would like to attend.
