I worked at LaPorte site with Gary for many years. I was in the Army and we discussed doing the same type of duties. I was always impressed with his successes. I was shocked when a fellow worker told me what had happened. Always meant to visit him but was always too busy. He was so easy going and friendly to me, I teased him and he would play along. I shall miss him.

Gary's Soul has journeyed to the far country and
As he takes his next spiritual steps into the heavenly worlds
May the love he shared with his family and friends
Guide him on his journey and light the path
For those who share the dream to meet again
For dreams are the gateway and love is the key
As love continues to grow may the blessing be
