Dear friends and family,

I don't think Gary ever met anyone he did't like. And I don't think he really left us. He's still watching over us. I know he taught me how to be more patient and forgiving and I'll always love him for that. Thanks to all who cared about Gary. You're all special people too. Sandy

I knew Gary about 7 years ago when I worked at Harley Davidson. I always liked him. Although at times pressure was high, Gary was able to handle it all like he was on cruise control. Very friendly and down to earth. To all who knew him and loved him, I send my condolences. Rest in Peace Gary, and keep your face in the Eternal Wind.
