Gary was a true neighbor in every sense of the word." Santa " to our kids growing up. Always had a wave and a smile. Our corner of Brooklyn will miss him dearly.

Extending our Deepest Sympathy. Your Dad was a great guy. Everyone in the neighborhood liked him, especially our family, the Burke's from across the street. Your Dad was a very kind, cheerful, and compassionate person. He was always so friendly, and very helpful. He loved spending time outside in the summertime visiting with all of us. Then, over the years, he helped out the elderly by mowing their grass. Good guy, your Dad! He will be missed but he will be remembered as that guy.

Mr Sundermeier was such a wonderful man. My Mom spent a lot of time with him planning Santa´s Christmas visits. Mr. Sundermeier brought Santa to the Northcliff annual block party every July, he always got dressed at our house and gave the Dockery grand kids a special private visit at their Mema´s. He was such a kind, sweet man. God Bless him and Lisa, Becky and Kim. I pray you can find some peace that your Dad is back together with your Mom and Gary, watching over all of you and your families.
