I will never forget Gary's kind and gentle heart.
I remember when we were going driving around with Gary and Theresa, listing to culture club, enjoying every minute, and thinking it would never change.
You were so loved, Gary, and will be greatly missed.
Heaven, just got an angel.

One of Gary`s favorite holidays was Halloween. He loved to dress up. He loved to hand candy out to the kids. He just always had fun on Halloween. Gary was an amazing person and he had a very big heart. He was super smart and intelligent and when it came to vehicles and engines, the man was amazing he could fix about anything, and if you had questions about your car, that man could just answer it without even having to look at it for the most part ....I will miss you Gary I love you. You´re a great person and a great friend and I know I´ll see you again. Thank you for always being there and being such a super human being.... I love you
