I have so many happy memories of you Gary. Walking into a room and hearing your booming voice welcome me is something I really miss. You heaping loads of love onto Arizona, talking to her for hours patiently answering every question she had. Getting down on her level to play. Putting together that awful plastic Barbie Castle! Helping me carry load after load up the stairs to the Roxy for Art's 50th Birthday... I can't believe you left us so soon. I miss you so much. Love Vanessa

Gary, you touched many lives in the AZ film community. Thank you for being a part of it. You are missed by me and many others. Rest in peace.
I met Gary on the set while filming a commercial. He was a wonderful person and made a long, tedious day seem much more pleasant.

I was so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I knew him since our days at Whitmore Elementary School. He will surely be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I was stunned to hear you had left us! We had a lot of great times, both on and off "The Field". The memories of you saying, "Oh, you better believe it" brings a smile to my face. I love you brother. Rest in peace.

So many good memories of Manzanita graves. I type this with a heavy heart because I know the world will be just a little bit darker without you in it. I am so blessed to have been able to call you a friend and brother.
