To Gary's family.....our company was his Sales Rep in Chicago for over 20 years. We all loved his humor and always enjoyed working with him. He loved to show us pictures of his family, especially his grandkids, whenever we saw him. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Wishing you comfort and God's blessings in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.
