I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Gary. I often reflect back and remember the good old days (many years ago). In life we meet people who touch us deeply, though we may not keep in touch with them, the love we felt for those people never fades. All of you are in my thoughts, I know your faith will be the foundation to get you through this difficult time.

Janet

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I remember going to youth conventions if Decatur, with Gary driving that big old church bus and the good times had. I remember him with a big smile on his face and a hearty laugh. He truly was a wonderful man.
