Our deepest sympathy to your family. May god bless and give you faith during this time of lose. I only met Gary while with my parents Wayne & Carol Brown, but I can say that I really liked him for the true person he always was. He made you feel like one of the family when we ate at the restrant for the "Best" ribs in the Chicagoland area. And we enjoyed the visits when Gary and Mary would come down to mom & dads to spend the day on the lake. He was loved and like by all who knew him, God Bless.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Gary's family at this time. I worked with Gary for about 7 years, yet I've been gone from there for about 13 years. He was quite the character to work with. Again, my heartfelt condolences. Dawn Rienks (tholen) and Family
