I had the opportunity to work with Gary for over 20 years,a good portion of that in the same department. To the family I would like to say that nothing said can ease all the the pain of loosing someone so close. I can tell you this though, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he loved you,his family, and wanted more than anything for you to be happy. Our prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. He was a Christian and is in God's care now. RIP Gary Joe we'll see you on the other side.

Some friends come and go in our lives. However, some always stay friends no matter what road is taken. Gary was one of the second type of friends. We were both in Second Nature (40 years ago), we both had a love for music and Gary has always been what I call "good people". "Good people" never change how they treat others. My heart aches at his passing and I pray for his family and friends.

I am so sorry to hear about Gary's passing. I had not seen him in several years, but I thought a lot of him. I was once married to his brother Leslie. I pray God's blessings on the entire family.

I am fortunate to call Gary my friend and bandmate back in Magnolia. We spent so much time together practicing and playing but even more just hanging out together. He was a good person with a talent for music. He may have passed but he left me with many great memories of him. My sympathy to his family and friends. Rest in peace lil' fella!

It is with heavy heart that I have to say good bye to a dear and close friend. I have so many fond memories of the times I had with Gary from years ago. We spent so much time together I felt we were actually brothers more than just good friends. We were not only close friends but we both shared a certain passion for music and were bandmates in several bands over the years. I will forever cherish the times we shared, and you will be missed so much. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult time.

Gary was my best friend and will truly be missed. We had conversations nearly daily and tried to solve the worlds problems with no luck. I will truly miss our conversations... He fought a hard battle against cancer one which we all thought he had won. Gary is no longer in pain, or tired, nor feeling sick from chemo any more for he is with our Lord in Heaven. I will miss you brother but I know there will come a time that we will all be together again so until then this is good bye my good friend.
