To everyone who has sat in deep thought, trying to put together the words....I am there as well. I was hit with the news of Gary's passing just this afternoon (thank-you Tim Funk)....so sad. Gary, in your passing, you have just reminded so many of your friends and family that the Lord comes when it "is" time....not when we are old and "ready". Thank you for the happy times, the quiet times, and the antics. My favorite memory was you in the "quartet". There was always something in the works when you were around...what a leader....and here you are..leading again. How loved you were by so many....Mary, I am sorry for your loss, and I would like to give you a great big hug to ease your pain...words just can't convey the lump in the throat, tears in the eyes, "what can I do" feeling I have for you and the extended family. You are all in my prayers. He was a very special person.

To Gary's Entire Family:
I went to junior high and high school with Gary. We became friends in high school after joining the Jubileers. My name then was Beth Towne. Two days ago, I ran into a fellow choir member who told me of our tragic loss. She had tears in her eyes as she spoke of Gary. We've not seen him since high school, but the memories of this man have stayed with us for thirty years. When I think back on all the hilarious times we had in the Jubileers, I still laugh. Just recently, I reflected on Gary in a story I was telling my husband. A group of us from Jubileers dared him to streak over the velvet ropes at the movie theater at the mall. He took the dare and we roared. Gary was an integral part of my having a ton of fun in high school. Our group would certainly not have been the same without him. I've just finished reading the guest book and am happy to see that Gary turned into a fine man that all who knew him adored. I can only imagine what you all have gone through; losing such a wonderful person. I will never forget Gary Green. He was an important part of my "teendom." I only wish I would have gotten to know him in adulthood. I will think of all of you often. Always in our hearts.

Merry Christmas Gary. You are such a wonderful soul and I thank God to have known you while you were here on earth. I look forward to seeing you again someday...and singing some great tunes.
Love,

It was with great surprise and sadness that I read of Gary's death. As a friend of Gary's brother in high school, I knew Gary only slightly through choir. Gary had a wonderful voice, and I greatly enjoyed listening to him sing. My sympathies to Terry and the rest of the Green family.

Dear Friends & Family of Gary, I had the privilege of working with Gary for a few years while he lived in Ogden, Utah. Our friendship hit off right from the start. Gary, or as I always referred to him as "G Money" was such a caring, loving and inspirational person who I will never forget. We had such a blast working together that consisted of joking around with each other and laughing until our sides hurt. I'll never forget the times when G-Money would have me watch his home as he and Mary went out of town. Gary was never short on telling me how much Mary was the love of his life and how God put this angel on earth for him. Before I got married he had told me I would know when I met the person I was going to marry. He said, “Bish, you will know when you meet your wife. You'll just know.” At that time I just thought he was crazy, but when the first time I spoke to my wife, I KNEW! What?!? I kept asking myself. Gary was right! I appreciated what I came to find out was monumental advice he gave me. I admired Gary for the love he has for his wife and children and I know that love will never cease! Gary was always there for a listening ear and good sound, level headed advice. He was a man I could turn to when I needed someone to help me with any situation and I trusted in what he told me. He held a non-bias opinion and a joke or two for me the times we'd talk. After Gary and Mary moved away from Utah, we continued talking and kept in contact, usually sending cards, letters, pictures and gifts. I will truly miss my friend and I am proud of the time I had knowing this great man. When asked the question who are some of the most influential people in my life, I honestly can say Gary Green. "People Come Into Our Lives And Quickly Go. Some Stay For Awhile Leaving Footprints On Our Hearts And We Never Are The Same." We'll miss you, but our friendship will live on forever! Much love and appreciation: Jeremy, Lacy, Sean & Kelsa Bishop

Thank you for everything!!...You know..Why are you calling my wife?..You know... ha ha...(only you can say that right)It was real.We had some laughs.You were a very special person,even though you always insisted on saying that of me..you were...really man.. It was great to be a part of your life.Hey remember that 1 special lunch you had with Jesus and Charlie Manson,even though I was Charlie,(you know...I didnt look like him,man..)ha ha..I know that was one of your favorite storys,ha ha..You were such a great dude.I knew how great of a person you were when you invited those homeless people into your home for a free meal,hot shower and a laundry load(even though I thought Mary was going to kill you,get very pissed off at you,or that the homeless would target and rob you later)..You Know..but you didnt care-You were just being Gary.Those of us that knew you well knew about your personality,how cool you were,and how that was just your nature,someone that always helped, loved and cared for others much more than yourself...You have such a big heart.It really sucks your gone,man,I still cant believe I cant call you anymore.I'm sorry we didnt hang out more with both of our familys together.We kept talking about it,We are both so proud of our familys and kids,we just never got around to it.Maybe someday Ill see your sons band or run into one of your kids someday.I sure would like to share with them some of our times we had and tell then personally how much you meant to me,how proud and lucky I was to have you as one of my friends.I really missed seeing you and Mary when you first moved,thanks for always keeping in touch when you were in Neb and Utah.You were the only friend I have that showed up when my baby was born..That was very important to me..I could go on forever but I want to keep it brief.The world is not as good of a place without you,and you will be greatly missed.Even though the vikings suck,Ill be rooting for them for you man!!!see you soon,Later -J- P.S.Send some charger power from heaven..Us charger fans can always use it! Later, man-P.S.S. Im not afraid of your viking spirit,so visit from time to time during football games or anytime.You are always welcome in my home,as I was always welcome in yours.P.S.S.S.Thanks again for always being there,the memories and everything!!P.S.S.S.S.Sorry I didnt sign this earlier man,I just found this online,and was kind of distraught on funeral day,forgot to sign the book then,and was stressed about getting that helga viking cap to east lawns to your grave before they buried you.Dont be mad,Mary wanted it,so I didnt throw it in-I figured that is probably what you wanted,Its kind of small,so Im sure it should fit Rachael and she will look good with Viking gear on..unlike her dad...
You know....one last joke...You know...God Bless Your Soul...Later..love you man

Gary was always one of the first to welcome us when we came through the doors at TBT. We will miss meeting him at "The Bread Store" on Broadway. He would ask us why we weren't there each time he was for 'our Bread Date'! His beautiful smile will always be remembered by Tommy and me. We love your family and are continuing to keep you in our prayers. Let's look forward to that Grand Reunion Day in Heaven!
Much Love,
Donna

Mary, Rachel and Green family, the funeral was the nicest one I have been to in Tucson. All the love for Gary really showed. He must have been a very special person and his loss with be missed by many. I have worked with Mary for 5 1/2 years and along with the many other AFNI employees my heart goes out to all of you. Mary is the sweetest, most fair person here and I have valued her friendship over the years. If there is anything I can do for Mary, Rachel or the Greens, do not hesitate to let me know.

Mary, Rachel, Jim, Edith & the rest of the Green family:
It was one week ago this morning, that we learned of Gary's passing from this earthly home to his heavenly, eternal home. It still doesn't seem real. As we walked through the foyer Sunday, I expected to see his smile and hear his laugh as he would give Heather a hard time. Although we wouldn't wish him back from sitting at the feet of Jesus, our hearts ache with you in his absense here. The service on Friday was such a tribute to Gary and to your families. We are holding you all close to our hearts and are praying that each day is filled with special memories of Gary. We have that blessed hope that we will all be reunited with him one day. With all our love and prayers in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Love you all!

When thinking of Gary one memory comes to mind most often. We were in Concert Choir together and sat side by side in the first tenor row. The two previous days Gary had made me laugh during class and both times I was admonished by Mr. Patrick with an icy stare uncommon for his usual demeanor. On the third day, I stopped Gary before entering class and warned him of the butt whuppin' I was going to give him if he made me laugh again in class. With a straight face Gary told me that it was not his fault if I couldn't keep my childish behaviour in check. Wanting to choke him then and there...he made the suggestion that if I felt myself beginning to laugh...to bend at the waist and act like I was tying my shoes. Well...during class an alto who had a brief solo during a song being rehearsed, hit an off key note that immmediately made me want to laugh. As I sat silently beside Gary praying for the good Lord to keep from laughing, I felt Gary starting to shake. Between shakes Gary would nudge my leg trying to get me to look at him. I refused to do so but felt an undeniable urge to laugh hysterically. Remembering Gary's sage advice (what was I thinking?),I bent at the waist to pretend to tie my shoes. As I bent down looking at my shoes and suppressing every urge I had to laugh, Gary bent down next to me and said into my ear "Watcha doin' down there?" Needless to say I busted out a guffaw that actually rearranged some of my vital internal organs.I will miss his smile, his laugh and his ability to make even the most mundane moments worth remembering.

Dear Jim and Edith,
I was saddened to hear of the tragic home going of your son. I pray that the comfort only God can give will be yours though this time of grieving...that your sense of loss will be swallowed up in the overwhelming grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and His love surround you completely.
Oh for that glorious day of reuniting in heaven when at last we shall see Him and those who have gone before. Even so...come quickly Lord Jesus.

Mary, We want you to know that it is hard to hear of a friend passing. You will always be in our prayers. But I know Gary, he is making a lot of people laugh in heaven right now. God's word allows a time and season for everything. This is just a very hard season to deal with. But we all know, He gives a peace that passes all understanding!!!!

Gary wrote this to me a while ago, but it was too funny to not share ...
"Hey Tom, Hope you are well and just so you know I always talk to your Mother when she
is playing between services and she always makes a mistake and blames it on
me. I tell her focus and she still blames me."
Typical Gary ... My mom will always remember this ... she mentioned him frequently in our calls ...

Dear Jim & Edith, and the Green Family,
Words cannot express how saddened we are by Gary's passing. He was a wonderful man...so sweet and friendly. He made us feel so welcomed when we first came to Temple...always had a smile and hug for us. We'll miss him terribly, but rejoice in the fact that he's at peace and with Jesus. What a wonderful hope we have in Christ! We were blessed to know Gary, as we are with every new "Green" that we meet! We love you and are praying for you!

What a wonderful honoring of Gary's life we experienced at Tucson Baptist Temple on Friday morning. The strength that God's Holy Spirit gave to both Jim and his children to share some very precious memories with those of us in attendance were such wonderful blessings. May we each remember our precious friend Gary through the years as we reflect on all he gave us, his many hugs and love to all. I was reminded this morning that our suffering and loss is only for a 'little while'. May each member of your family feel God's Spirit's comfort in the coming days and weeks ahead as you face the future without Gary. He is with Jesus. What a great promise from our Heavenly Father.

That will never change. Karyn

Dear Family -
It was wonderful to hear how Gary's life touched so many people ... with a hug, a laugh, or a crazy antic. My thoughts of growing up with the Green boys, high school with Jim, Gary, and Terry, still enjoying "Green's Chicken" - the meal we shared with Gary and Lori when Patrice and I were first married, and conversations and emails with Gary since then, will be my treasure until I see him again.
Our prayers for you for comfort during this time of separation,
Tom, Patrice and Family

My fondest memory of Gary is that he and Jimmy and my brother John would be at my folks' house swimming, jumping off the back wall, and daring each other to jump from the roof of the house to the pool!
Gary has been a part of our lives for so long, and such a blessing to my parents especially. He and Mary would always send a card or note, or stop by for a visit. He will be truly missed.
My prayers are with the entire Green family. May you all find comfort in our Lord and His peace.

Dear Family & Loved Ones,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend that I first knew as an ornery 8th grader at Fickett and a good friend throughout High School. It was always uplifting to get calls from Gary back here in Peoria as he looked me up many years later. He spoke so proudly of his dear children Ryan, Sara and Rachel. May our Lord richly bless and keep you, his dear family, as you bear this sorrow.

Mary and Rachel,
At times such as these, mere words can never express or begin to compensate for the loss of a loved one. As we collectively struggle to understand all that has happened, struggle for the right words to say, even the right manner in which to say them, one thing is clear; our feelings of care and compassion for both of you during this difficult time well up from deep within our hearts.
We offer ourselves, our support and our love in any manner we can, knowing it can never fill the void left as a result of your loss. Instead we hope it will serve as a foundation of recovery, knowing there are so many of us who care. May God bless you and keep you during these trying times. We are here for you unquestionably with our love and support.
In our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers.
Pete, Kelli, Ben and Briana

I went to school with Gary at PV. We not only had classes together (specifically choir my senior year) but we were on the swim team together. We both lived around the same corner of Palo Verde Park so we spent a lot of time together playing basketball.
In school, Gary was one of those that you enjoyed being around. Always laughing, always with a joke! Even then he was an upbeat, positive person who was just developing his Christian character. It's nice to see that he continued in his faith in Christ.
As I think back to my high school days, Gary was one of those people that always came to mind. I was proud to have known him and have such pleasant memories of him.
I hadn't seen or heard from him since 1976 but he has not been far from our thoughts.
Gary- Congrats on your promotion to heaven. My prayers are for those you have left behind. My hope is they will know what you now know; The comfort of the arms of Jesus. I'm priveledged to have known you and called you my brother and friend.

Dear Mary, Rachel, and Family,
We are so sad to hear of Gary's passing. We pray that you
will be comforted by your happy memories and by knowing that you will all be together again in Heaven. (My Kindergarten Class

Love,

To:Jim and Edith,
This is Rose Montgomery now residing in Austin(Round Rock), Texas.
Words can not express how much I would love to be there to give you both a hug!
Peggy Holder called me to let me know of Gary's passing. He was always such a joy. He and I counseled a fellow sister in Christ once. He was able to talk to some people with such love and humor. They would just listen. Must be a Green trait. Jim you have always been like a mentor to me. Through high school at Rincon, in DECA and later at TBT in bible study. Edith I have always looked up to your gentle spirit. I will be praying for the Lord's unspeakable peace for your family. I'm on support staff at Great Hills Baptist Church. Feel free to call if there is anything you need 512-343-7763 ext. 516.
Your sister in Christ,
Rose Montgomery
Raymond sends his love also.

Gary was very very special to me. He was the first boy I ever kissed. My first boyfriend. I have so many happy memories of him. He'll always hold a very special place in my heart and my memories. I'm sure he's one of heavens "Class Clowns"now. He was so funny and so talented. He sang like the angel he now is. I'll miss you Gary as we all will.See ya in heaven...
