Gary will be missed. While at his service all the memories of our time with him came rushing back and I was reminded of what a kind and wonderful person he was. I have such fond memories of playing charado with him and Linda, family gatherings, the last 4th of July picnic in my backyard while they stayed in Boston, endless laughs and of course the many car conversations he shared with my husband. Time may pass but it´s moments like this that we pause and remember and cherish those special moments in time. Rest In Peace Uncle Gary.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Gary. I remember meeting him for the first time with my Aunt Linda, she was so in love with him and I could see why. He was such a bright light and joy to be around, and his laughter filled the room. I was honored to be part of their wedding, and loved spending time with them and my family sharing stories and laughter. Every year without fail he sent us a holiday card with an update. It was always one of the first cards we received and I looked forward to it each year. Such a kind and giving person - we will miss him.
