Darcy, I just found out. I’m so sorry. He was one of the cool ones. Lots of great memories. Doug Anderson
This is very sad news. My heart and mind are with Gary’s family and all the lives he crossed. Keep remembering that Chevy Vega he drove in high school. He taught me how to pop a clutch on that old hatchback. Heaven has gained a fine human being.
Darcy, I am so sorry for your loss.. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Loran, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. There are no words for this, but know you are in the hearts and prayers of so many.

The way Gary loved his family was always a treasure to witness. He made my child feel like a second son when he was over and he always made us laugh! God bless you Gary.
