Gary was a special friend who always had time to visit on the phone or at home. He is always missed as a close compassionate caring friend. I am so glad to have had his friendship for a number of years. Thanks Gary for the kind friendship you shared with me.

Dear Gwen and Family, Hearing of Gary's passing is difficult to understand but I know he is in a better place now. I owe Gary much for I believe it was he who introduced my dad and I to the BWCA, conoe building and black powder shooting. I will never forget the anticipation of loading up his little white Toyato truck with packs and canoes, making sure we left just enough room for us boys to pile in for the long ride. And alwys that stop at Toby's for a roll and a comic book to read in the tent on a rain soaked day. My first trip to the BWCA was to Malberg lake because Gary said he wanted to take us to a beautifull campsite up on a cliff that we just had to see. He was right, it was a beautiful place and since then I have learned how unique it is, returning several times. Gary will always be remembered as a great influence in my life

I love you Grandpa! Thanks for an endless list of special memories. I will carry them and you with me always.

Love,
The Beaner

I only knew Grandpa Quick for a period of a year, but he and Grandma Quick made me feel as if I knew them for more. I was always welcomed in their house like any other family member. I can still remember to this day, when I first started dating Tina, the first thing he asked me, as test to see if I was "good enough" for her was " Do you like Ford or Chevy's?" As soon as I said that I had a Lincoln Continental, I was in good!

Grandpa Quick, I never got a chance to let you know this through words, but you were a grandfatherly figure to me as well. My mom's father died before I was born, and I don't even know my dad's father or him really for that matter. You never second guessed to letting me in your house and you always made me feel welcomed. I only wish I had more time to spend with you and get to know you even better. My thoughts and prays are with you as I know you are with us, smiling from heaven. My promise to you is that I will always try to live as a rightheous and good man towards Tina as you were to Grandma Quick. I thank you for the memories I did get to spend with you and I look forward to sharing happiness in heaven with you. Love You and I will miss you dearly.

Dear Gwen and Family, As I said in my e-mail to you, my heart goes out to you. Although we know that Gary is in the loving arms of his heavenly Father, we still grieve his passing and wish that he could have had more time with us. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love

To Randy, Kim and family. I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Gwen and family,

My condolences to you for your loss of Gary. I was stunned when I received word yesterday from my parents. The fun times while canoeing in the BWCA with Gary and Dan years ago are very good memories that I cherish. May God bless your family, and may you have comfort in knowing Gary is now home with Jesus.

Dear Gwen and Family,
I am sincerely sorry for your loss. It is difficult to watch someone so close battle with the pains of cancer. Though we pray for Gods healing hand, sometimes our Loving Father has a better plan. May you feel Gods shielding comfort today and in the weeks ahead. Our Hope and our future is in Jesus if we love the Lord. May you find comfort in the promise that one day you will be reunited.

Dear Gwen and family, we were so saddened to hear of Gary's passing. Although we have only known you two for a few years, we feel a great sorrow. I feel that Gary must have had a very wonderful life, that he never wanted to let go of, because of the way he kept fighting his cancer right to the end.
On the next clear night when you look up in the sky, what you see are "porch lights", welcoming our loved ones home.

Neighbors Dennis and Andi

My thoughts and prayers are with your entire family in this difficult time. I did not have the honor of meeting Gary however I felt as I knew his spirit through Kim. He touched many people.

Randy & Family - I am very sorry for your loss. Take strength in your memories of your father and know that he will always be watching over you. My deepest sympathy.

Hi Gwen and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time but Gary is free from all pain and resting in the arms of Jesus. I will be unable to make it on saturday but will stay in touch. God Bless you!

My thoughts are with the family at this time.

His journey has just begun. Gary is now living and loving in peace with the Lord. I am grateful for the manner in which Gary has touched my life, and the lives of my children - forever. With so few words Gary spoke volumes I will hold forever near and dear. My heartfelt sympathy to Gwen, Randy, Bryan, Dan and all of the Quick family.

Gwen, We are in AZ for the winter, but heard about Gary. We are so very sorry! We know he battled this disease courageously and is now resting in our Savior. Still, it must be difficult to think of life going on without him. We will be praying for your comfort and peace.
