Mary,Katie,Jayden,Matt,Tony & Alicia, We will miss Gary, especially at our family celebrations, grilling and carving the thanksgiving turkey or just seeing him enjoying the lake scenery at the cabin by the fire. Recently, we missed Gary at Greg and Amber's wedding. Gary would have been proud of all of you in your wedding attire. I would just say Hi Gar and he was always there to give a hug. Gary would do anything for family, all we had to do was to ask about a electrical problem and he would send his best man out to fix the problem. Gary also welcomed us to your home and the cabin for our large family parties with open arms. We will treasure those memories always.Hugs From the Watts family

Mary, Katie, Jayden, Matt, Tony and Alicia,
We are very sorry for your loss. Your have our deepest sympathy.
Gary was a wonderful person and we consider ourselves very lucky to be apart of his family.
Gary had a calm, quiet strength about him. He really seemed to have life figured out.Gary loved life and seemed to be able to handle everything that life threw at him so easily and without complaint.
I think Don Anderson said it best when he mentioned to Katie, that Gary's was a life well lived. There can't be better compliment to a person then to say that about their life.
We will dearly miss Gary, his wonderful sense of humor, great smile and hearty laugh.
You are a wonderful family and we know you will find strength from one another and from your memories of Gary.
Love,
Karen, Eric, Jake and Adam

Dear Mary and Family,
I was so saddened too hear of Gary's passing, he was a fine man. I met Gary through my son Scott> I had the pleasure of playing a few rounds of golf with Gary the past few years, what fun we had. I will cherish those memories.
Rest in Peace "Garo", you will be missed.

Mary and family:
Sorry to hear about Gary. I will miss him more than more than I can express. The two of us met in first grade; that’s over 52 years ago. Gary was always the smartest in the class and the first with a laugh. In the fifth or sixth grade we became friends with Billy and Cy, the four of us were like brothers; we had many adventures together.
One special memory was when the four of us took a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters; we were rained on for the whole trip. Later Gary gave each of us a photo album of the trip; it is still one of my prized belongings.
After marriage, I went my own way, but I never lost my love for Gary and the childhood we shared.
Love to you and your family.
Sincerely;
Dick Malone
