As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I considered him to be one of my best friends ever. From the earliest '90s when our sons went to Miller we spent countless family times and many a bbq together.
Gary was the only Baby Elk that I sponsored when he joined the BPOE 1538 Elks Lodge. He will be remembered fondly by all those who knew him. My heartfelt condolences to Terry and Matt.
