Gary, I miss you so much & hurt so bad since you have gone. I know I have memories but sometimes it doesn’t seem enough. I won’t forget anything about you, big brother, especially how you would always tell me to “stay off the phone when your driving sis!” You were always looking out for me, even up to the end. You were always there for me, always good to me, and we always got along so well. I know you are safe with Jesus now, and that you are with Dad, Dave, & other relatives & friends that have passed, I also know you are not in any more pain, no more suffering & heartache, no more misunderstandings of you in this world. I understood you a lot more than you know. I know you were a good man. I love you so much Gary, and will see you again when its my turn for the journey.
Love you, your lil sis, Sonia

Gary was a good man who, loved life and lived it his way. Some people disliked the man because he was honest about his belifes and spoke them openly, no matter the consequences. I liked that about him you always knew where you stood with him. I will cherish the memories I have and pray that he is at peace, and will oneday see him again.

I am very sad by this loss we (our family) has suffered in losing my Uncle Gary. I miss him tremendously. The only thing that makes it feel slightly better is that I know is not in pain and that he is with my Dad and his Dad and family in heaven. My Uncle Gary was a good man, one might say a crab at times but nonetheless he was still a good man. I have many memory’s of our time together as far back as the early 70s. We were very close then and became close again once my father passed away. I am very fortunate to have seen him before the sickness as who he really was. A very well dressed man, who took pride in his looks and his work and what he drove. Very into Punk Rock, old Gangsters of the 30s and so on, he loved tennis and as I said this was who he really was before any drinking or sickness. I was able to go with him to Cedar Pt, to the drive ins and many outings and even more recently to a couple road trips. At this point I am very lost and sometimes I lose it and cry very hard but then I remember him telling me it will be ok. He told me he had dreams of my Dad and his Dad hanging out with him a lot. Maybe they will calling him home to heaven. I love you Uncle Gary. See you in heaven one day.
