So sorry to hear of Gary's sudden passing. I was his broker at ReMax Metro and helped him with his Real Estate career. We had a good working relationship that became a good friendship. May he rest in peace.

It was a pleasure to be your neighbor for the past 3 years. You always kept an eye out and I appreciate that a ton. I was always happy to snow blow your driveway or help you install a window AC unit. From your stories of the neighborhood to small talk, you were always full of energy and knowledge. Until we meet again buddy, may you Rest In Peace.

Gary you were a great neighbor, always keeping an eye out. I appreciate you and never minded helping out, weather it may have been snow blowing your driveway or installing your window AC unit. I will remember your stories and knowledge of the neighborhood. Until we meet again, Rest In Peace buddy.

Deepest sympathy to Gary's family! I met Gary 9 years ago at Nautica. Every holiday for the last 9 years he would send me a card. On Easter he would leave a plant on my door step. I would see him from time to time at the Senders. He was the kindest man. May he rest in peace in heaven.

Although I never actually met him, I remember Gary as being a friendly guy and avid supporter of the local music community. I came to know him a bit better as a regular member of my Rock 'n Rhode group on Facebook. Always kind, Gary liked to share his experience as a passionate music enthusiast and friend to a great many local musicians. Farewell, Gary Chianese. I know you are keeping a loving and protective eye on your children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers with them.

My Sincere Condolences to the Chianese Family. Gary was a good soul. He always updated me on what bands were playing locally. He loved live bands as I did. We would often talk about his wife because I went to school with her. He would just ask me questions about her. He missed her terribly. Now they are reunited.
He will be missed.
RIP Gary . Now, You are Rock and Roll Heaven.
It was nice knowing you.
