Linda,
Oh how we will miss Gary at our office, but so thankful his fight is over. His smile, even in the most painful and stressful times, brought us joy and made us see the true meaning of life. Over the years you both have become family and we cherish you here. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones in this difficult time.

Gary was the oldest of the cousins and very much admired for some of the "cool" tricks he would pull when the entire family would gather at Thanksgiving and Christmas. On one holiday he moped around all morning complaining that he did not feel well. The kids had their own table to eat at and as soon as we sat down Gary pretended to vomit, putting his "rubber vomit" on his dinner plate. Naturally all the kids went running and screaming. It made his day! He also began the tradition of pouring his milk down the celery stalk when not observed by Aunt Dorothy. We will miss you cousin Gary but never forget all the wonderful times we had with you.

Gary and Linda,, No more pain at Gary's new address. We have some happy memories of Gary always wanting dessert when we had our get together. He had a chant he used so we would hurry. Always smiling. His sharp wit and keen sense of humor will be missed. His love for the Lord was always known.

Gary was a wonderful, caring, inspiring, giving man. He changed my life forever. There will be an empty place in our lives and hearts with him gone. We love him and miss him.

I met Gary about 3 years ago in a professional capacity. I was a nurse that helped care for him, and in doing so I was blessed with the opportunity to grow as a person. Gary always had a steady optimism about him, no matter the situation. His positive outlook in the face of adversity will be a jewel I will have with me for the rest of my life. Thank you Gary, and may many blessing be bestowed on your amazing family.
