I think of Gary often. He always had time for me, whether it was supporting me professionally or just sitting down to talk about why we came to work, Family, 1st and foremost. He will always be a part of who I am today, because of who he was.

Tracey I'm so sorry for your loss
I had the pleasure of meeting you at the home show .
Gary was my boss ,but alot of people didn't know he was also my friend. When I was having some dark times in my life from going threw my divorce Gary was there for me.
He made sure I got to work cause, I was so depressed I couldn't function. I will never forget how he stood by me when he did not have to.
Rest in peace

I had the good fortune to have Gary as a supervisor before my retirement. He always treated all with value and respect. I believed Gary to be a "straight shooter " and what you seen is what you got from Gary, honesty and respect! Condolences to his family.

I also had the pleasure of working for Gary for many years. Always had me laughing. He was definitely the best supervisor that I worked for at Parma. He will be missed. Sincere condolences to the family.

I just want to send my condolences to the entire Risdon family. Gary was my supervisor for several years at GM. He was always a good and fair supervisor and we got along great. I retired about a year or two before him. I wish we could have spoken again since. Prayers for your family in this time of sorrow.

Very sad to hear this. I had the privilege of working with Gary for a number of years. Always a solid guy you could count on. Respected by hourly and management folks. It was clear that he loved his family and the outdoors. Prayers for his wife and young lad.

Gary was my supervisor for a period of time and one of the best planners ever. He was such a personable person and always smiling whenever you would see him. Very understanding supervisor. My condolences to his wife, son, and the rest of his family
