Leslie, we are so sorry to hear of Gary's passing and saddened that we didn't find out in time to make his funeral services. We worked with him at H.H. Robertson and Dave also worked with Gary at the Beaver Valley Country Club. They had a lot of good times there. Dave kept in touch with Gary over the years and they remained good friends. He was a wonderful person and he will be
dearly missed. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

I have fond memories of the Pfeifer family visits and Gary. It is sad to see him go, but he is now in a far better place. God be with his family through this trying time.

My deepest sympathies go out to Gary's family. We've all lost a fun loving person always willing to lend a hand. We both worked at HH Robertson before migrating to Centria. While he was in the office and I was in the field sales, we still enjoyed regular conversation. It was especially fun to discuss, debate, and enjoy the Penn State vs Michigan rivalry. May Gary rest in peace with the Lord.

Dear Family of Gary,
For all of us on St. Andrews, it was a regular sight to see Gary in the yard, pushing his lawnmower on that very straight diagonal and taking care of business. Even in the face of challenges, Gary kept upbeat and was always so pleasant to talk with. He and his smiles will be missed.Our sympathies,
