So sorry to have to hear about your family this way. He was my Uncle and now is resting with my mom, his sister Diane who he loved dearly and did so much with. He was so heartbroken after she passed. Prayers go out to all

RIP Gary. A neighbor, a friend and our newspaper carrier years. Always checking on us to see if we were ok. We were shocked and sad to hear of his passing. He always ended his notes or conversations to us by saying "Don't worry Be happy"! RIP His "Pups" meant the world to him.
Our sympathy to his family. Anita & Joe

Gary was my paper carrier and a very caring and giving person. On occasion he rang my door bell to check on me. I will miss seeing him and his four precious puppies as he delivered the paper.

May memories of the happy times you shared with Gary bring you comfort and ease the pain of your loss.

Mornings will not be the same without Gary and his pack. Whenever I ran into him, or passed him on his route, he always had a wave and a smile.
