Sending our deepest sympathy to Glenda, her kids/grandkids and to Gary's family. We have known Gary & Glenda for 50 + years. Bill and I have many treasured memories "hanging out" with them, raising our kids together, and just get togethers. Gary was a dear friend who was always there for those that needed him. We are so happy we had the opportunity to see both Gary and Glenda at our Anniversary party in Mn in 2022. Love, Bill & Kathy Kunkel

I remember so clearly the day he and Glenda took me to my school for because I had a concert. He had on the best smelling cologne, a long leather coat and all my friends thought he was prettttty cool. He also drove a cool little yellow vw bug. I will miss his laugh and the easy conversations we had.
