Uncle Gary you will you will truly be missed. I have many fond memories of the times in Irish Hills when you made us nice pancake breakfasts and took us on boat rides. Jerry remembers many times when you guys would go fishing. You were an intelligent interesting man who would always be teaching us something. There are many memories when you spent numerous holidays together with us and helped light up the family parties when you were a resident in Trenton. It was always nice getting a new Avon gift for Christmas or a birthday party when you and Henrietta used to sell Avon for all those years. A good Catholic man who was always kind to other people. God Bless you and you will be missed.

Uncle Gary you are missed by so many. You always were there when I was going through tough times and cancer treatments. Now I know you are up there with Henia, Grandma, Uncle Johnny and your best buddy Herbie watching over us all.
