I went all through school with Gary and was so VERY surprised of his passing, since Alice had just passed. May I ask what he passed of? I hope I am not being too personal. Our prayers are with all his family, he was a good friend from grammar through high school at WW. Both his and Alice's passing is just so sad.
Sincerely,
Bev Borruso-Wood

Dear Dad,
I remember we use to spend summers at Bucks Lake with your dad, my Grandpa, and you both took me fishing before dawn. We hiked to this special stream way high. I caught my first fish with you. You taught me many things.
Prayer and belief in Jesus' saving blood, wash away worries. I know you are at rest. Your devotion to us, family, has filled our lives with love. I will remember the good times and I try to remember the many stories you shared.
We miss you very much.

I think of you Gary as a little guy and me your big sister - you were so cute when your eyes were crossed and smiled. Then you had surgery and wore a patch (I wanted one too)to make your lazy eye work and it did! The memories are many and I am sadden as our your brothers to lose youso soon.
Your love of your family and of Christ had been an anchor and losing Alice I am sure was a hard reality to accept.
My heart goes to each of you - Gene, Janet, Ben and Sarah. And to all the grandchildren, too. Allow your Dad's love of you to reside within each of you forever. When you feel low think of his love for you.
Aunt Linda

Dear Bidwell Family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Gary and I attended Luther Burbank Junior High and Woodrow Wilson High School together. In addition, we've been Facebook friends for the past few years. I always liked Gary and I'm fairly certain he felt the same way about me. I know he lost his beloved wife not long ago and for his passing to come so soon after must be a hard blow for the family to absorb. My deepest condolences and sympathies.
