There isn't a day that goes by that I think of my best friend Gary. A picture of us is on my refrigerator door. Will never forget his kind heart to my family. I have fond memories of our travels together over the years since we were young. I know Gary was looking forward to visiting us in South Carolina before his illness. Gary will always be here and have a special place in my heart. Miss you, Geri and Junior.
Love Always,
Cecil Dunn & Family

Last night dad and I were talking... I told him that I watched a documentary about Studio 54. My dad continued to tell me a story about how he and Gary went to studio 54 one night... And Gary was wearing a chicken costume from The Costume Scene. Haha. Man I wish I was there for that night!!!

Gerry and Gary,
Gary also know as Gary the Painter, Dad will be greatly missed!
I will never forget him and the times I have also spent knowing him. I've known him for a long time, growing up as a child. I had great memories with him, as well as with you guys. I will never forget the times my father, and Uncle painted with him. The times coming over the house for family functions. He will be missed, but now is in a better place. May he rest in peace now. Love you all. XOXO God Bless

I'm sorry to hear about Gary. He was a great guy, and a good friend. I'll always have the beautiful memories we shared together in my heart. I'll miss bumping in to him here and there. He was always fast with a joke or line. He always made me laugh. If you guys need anything, I'm always around. Rest easy Gary. Love You Buddy.

To Gerry & Gary Jr.
Gary was a true friend and buddy over the many years we knew each other.
Gary was always the prankster anywhere we went. What fond memories I have of us going on vacations, disco's and out to dinner many times. Gary would make me cassettes and CD's with disco music. Gary had a big heart and would always go out of his way to help you. You could not have a more caring person than Gary. I know Gary is looking down on us spinning his music and entertaining God. On behalf of my wife, Debbie and children, Isabella, Joan and Cecil III, we miss "Uncle" Gary and will remember him each day of our lives through the music he recorded for us. There can be no better tribute to a man such as Gary and his Music. We will never forget Gary. RIP my best friend!!

Our deepest sympathy to Gerry, Gary and the Roselle family. Gary meant so much to us. He's been around the "Lee" house since I was born. My Dad always said "no one can paint a window like Gary." We've had a lot of laughs and he has done so much for us we will miss him terribly. Rest in Peace.
All Our Love,
Harry, Sandy, and Bobby Lee Falkenstein

We go back to the days of the broken drum 55 years ago and we stayed close Friends all these years. I'll miss you telling me your getting board with the conversation and lets go on to something else. Gary, heros come in many ways but you'll always be my hero for how you fought this terrible disease all these years with a smile and saying "what choice do I have-- I'll deal with it). I love you and will miss you greatly. Pete Mercatanti.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Gary at the Hamilton YMCA. Such a great guy, called to heaven way too soon by the big guy. I hold him in my prayers today. God rest his soul.

All the guys at the "Y' have missed you and will continue to miss you. Can't tell you how much fun those dinners were with the boys. Taylor and Albert both loved you! You made all of us laugh everyday!

Gary was a smart and very fortunate guy to have had you by his side all these years Gerry. You were so wonderful to him and took such great care of him.
As fortunate as Gary was to have you, Pete & I were as lucky to have had Gary as one of our closest friends for over 40 years. I would be lying if I talked about all the "great" times we shared because believe me, they weren't all great! But the one thing that remained constant through all those times was our love and support for one another.
Life will be very different without Gary, and he will be forever missed. Thinking about "Big Boy" and the memories & laughter we shared will always brighten the day.
Love you always Gary.

Gary was truly one of a kind. My childhood was filled with many great memories of Gary and my father hanging out on the deck at the beach. They always used to say 'we're not here for a long time, just a good time.' And it's safe to say Gary had a lot of good times and I'm fortunate to have been a part of a few of them. Gary was a great friend of the family and he is and will always be missed greatly. My condolences and thoughts are with the Roselle family.

My childhood was brighter when Gary was around. His love for fun and happiness was a lesson for all that knew him. There are many times a song will play on the radio and I can here Gary saying, "play that again". His big smile and love of people is enough to make anyone smile! He is already missed by many. God bless and God speed buddy
