Dear Jan, Melissa and Jessica,
I can’t tell you enough how very sorry I am. Gary was such a loved person and he was a wonderful blessing to all of us who knew him. He had a heart full of love for his family and friends and he has left so many wonderful memories that will be forever carried on. My heart breaks for the pain and sadness you feel and I so much wish I could say something or give you words to make it all easier but there just aren’t any. He was such a good hearted soul and will be missed by all who loved and cared about him. I pray God will comfort you with His awesome love and fill your hearts with His amazing peace.
My love to you all.

Jan and family. Our love and prayers go out to you. We loved Gary so much and will miss him so much. Ronnie grew up with Gary and they were like brothers – I think Gary even lived with Ronnie and his mom for a little while. We have so many fond memories of him. Gary was in our wedding and even though the years have separated the old gang, we still saw and talked with him on the phone. This just doesn’t seem real, and it pains us so much that we just can’t even put it into words. Please feel free to call or email us if you want to share memories of him. We loved him so much!

I am so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. He was a kind and gentle man. Our heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family. When I talked to Gary, it was always about his family. He not long ago told me about the trip to England to see his daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. I hope the memories you’ve shared sustain you with the help of God during this tumultuous time. May God Bless you and your family during this most saddening time. Steve Yates (Warner Robins)
