I was looking to see whatever was happening with my old friend from years ago, and I came across this obituary. I was stunned, saddened but then so happy to read what was written so beautifully about this wonderful man. God blessed me with his friendship for a while years ago when I lived in Milwaukee and met him through Anne. I cherish those days and memories. God rest his soul. Bless him and us always. Much love to you, dear Gary:) Cynthia

He will be missed!!
Rest in Peace..Rich Ackley

A great friend for over 50 years. The Grunau Co. was a great company to be associated with. From the
West Bend Co. to the Medical College of Wisconsin Gary always was upbeat when giving me an advice or an answer to my questions. Also an excellent golfer.

Joanne and family. The tribute paid to him in the memorial statement captures the essence of what he represented and who he was. The city of Milwaukee, the state of Wisconsin and indeed the world we live in is a better place because of his efforts. Thank you for sharing this much beloved man with all us. My thoughts are truly with you. Barbara Velez

Much of the current renaissance that is occurring in downtown Milwaukee is the result of Gary's extraordinary vision of what the future can be, his ability to explain it to others, and then mobilize them to make it happen. The entire community is thankful for Gary's dedication to his hometown. Generations to come will benefit from his efforts. He will be missed.
