Our sincerest sympathy goes out to Gary's family, especially Nancy and Julie. We always enjoyed Gary's company, especially to share memories of Aunt Jessie and Uncle Carli. I know he desperately wanted that red mohair living room suite...or was it the black and white tv?? (Gary's laughing in heaven right now!!). He was fun to talk to, even at 3:00 a.m.!!!
We didn't find out about Gary's passing until Thursday afternoon so it was not possible to attend his services. For that we are sorry. Know that we are there in spirit.
Gary we love you. You will be missed!!

Dear Gary's Family and Friends,
I am very saddened to hear of Gary's death and you all have my sincerest sympathy. Gary and I grew-up together as neighbors so I spent a lot of time with him. I always liked Gary very much and I always looked up to him. Gary would always make us laugh although I'm sure Julie and Nancy weren't always laughing when Gary would tackle them in the front yard and make them smell his armpits. When we were young Gary built a work-out room in his parent's garage and we spent countless hours out there. Gary was the person who taught me how to box and how to speed-bag and I thought that was just the coolest thing in the whole world.
Gary was also my first employer. Being the entrepreneur that he was he bought some equipment and started installing seamless gutters. Gary would hire me during the summers and during those summers I learned valuable life-lessons about work, responsibility, and using a level. I have nothing but fond memories of all those years we spent together even though I had to listen to Johnny Cash in the truck the whole time.
Gary was a great friend and a great employer and the world is a lesser place without him. I wish you all comfort as you work-through this terrible loss.

Fondest Remembrances in the short time I Knew him. When we moved in the shopping center Laskey Crossings Gary has always been so nice to me and always was such a delight to talk to. When I heard of his sudden passing I knew right away that he is in Heaven with our father and will be watching all of his business friends ... He such a great man.
