I have thought about Gary over the years at times when I go over to my Rental Property and look over to his house. You remember the good times with good people and Gary was a great person to hold a conversation. Thanks for keeping his memory alive by sending me this reminder and thinking back of fond memories.

Kathy and Family

Being in the restaurant business, Gary always brought a smile to my face when he walked through our doors. He was one of those few people that I was glad to see and really enjoyed spending time with. He was a good man and will be missed by both family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May he rest in peace.
