Rest in peace....There was never an event that he didn't hesitate to find me and greet me with a big hello and a hug. I will always remember Gary coming to grammar school and explaining what his Grandpa did and showing the class the beautifully colored printed copies. Hugs to all the family members. With heartfelt love, Lisa Gebhardt Anderson
