To the family of Gary. My love and prayers are with you all. Gary was an awesome friend to us for over 50 years and he will be missed. He was the sweetest man that ever walked the earth. So wish we could have been there for the family but since being in Fl we couldn't make it. Our heart is broken over the loss of such a wonderful man. R.I.P. Gary we will see you when our time is up.

Gary Spitler was one of the most intelligent men I've ever known.....He was like a father figure to me....I will miss him terribly.... I had the privilege of working with him for 8 years...I leaned a lot about making feed and life ....Living in the big city of Enterprise for over 30 years I've had the pleasure of sitting on his porch talking about old times...."Boots" and family you are in my thoughts and prayers.......rest in peace "Moose"
