Almost 15 years ago I adopted an infant with a rare and severe disorder. There was little hope for his extended life and not much was known. The majority of our hope came from the EBMRF, founded by Gary and Lynn. I will forever be grateful for their love and encouragement and their endless work to find a treatment for a disease that was so close to their hearts and mine. I hope his reunion with Chuck and Christine was wonderful. All our love to Lynn and his children.
Sincerely,
The Troop family

Dear Lynn: While at the Provo City Cemetery, on Memorial day, I noticed the Anderson headstone. A few days later I heard of Gary's passing.
This is a voice from the way past, long ago, when we would double date in high school.
I know this is a difficult time, but yet, you must be pleased that Gary is free from our earthly restrictions. He was admired by all.
I am married to a Gary too, living in N.Calif, not far from Paradise, Ca. May you be comforted and blessed as you continue on.
With love and affection for you and your family....
Mary Ann Jenkins Gridley, Calif.

My heart goes out to Aunt Lynn and family. Uncle Gary was such an inspiration of kindness, love, and faithfulness. I always felt so accepted and supported by him and his family. He will be missed but his memory will always be close to my heart!
Love you all,

Gary was a cousin that cared and made phone calls to check on us. He always made us feel loved. I spent many of my growing up days with Gary and my brother Wally. When my brother passed away Gary became like a brother to me. I will always love him and miss him.

Goodbye to my good friend Gary. Thank you for your kind and endearing ways. Yours was always a Christ-like approach. I will remember you fondly. Your dear Lynn is definitely your equal in every way. So appreciate and love you both.

Taking care of Gary when he was just a precious little boy began my life long love and admiration for such a dear person. As a man, he too, like his father, was truly a gentle-man. While we will miss him, I know that there is a joyful reunion in Heaven.
Love and sympathy to dear Lynn and family while they are separated.

There was never a better "oldest" brother to anyone than Gary was to me. He was always there when I needed him for love and support. He was a great example of how to live a life. My prayers are with his family.
