He was a great guy. With a great family. I worked for him as a police officer in the Village of Big Bend years ago. We will miss him.

Peggy and the Arkin family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Gary and Peggy have been such wonderful friends to my parents (Tom and Dorothy) over the many many years they have known each other. I have always enjoyed hearing the stories from my parents of their outings and have fond memories of my childhood and swimming in your pool. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With deepest sympathy,
Scott, Karyn, Bella, and Britni
