Darlene and Theresa, our hearts go out to you. Our son, Gary and his wife and son are leaving on ski trip Friday but we had some stories to tell. Your Gary was always funny around me and joking and….oh my goodness, the things those kids could get into. One particular gig that Gary Don was playing in New Mexico…your Gary came flying in on a private plane at the small airport. I think they blew the ceiling out of the club that night for having the sound too high. Glad to hear he had career in Air Force and apparently was ver happy. Much love to your family. I have put this on Facebook for others to see.
Sorry to hear of your family’s loss. Gary was a good friend of mine for a long time before we lost touch. My sympathy to his Mother and Theresa.
Theresa and Darlene….so sorry to hear about Gary. We have been out of touch for years but I’ll remember the good times…..traveling with the band and just having good times with good friends.

We are so sorry for your loss. Though we never met Gary we know we would have thought the world of him because he has such a great mother and sister. God has him now and he will share that smile with him.
God Bless and we will keep you and your family in our prayers.
When I think of my cousin Gary, I remember his quick wit and ready smile. I remember he used to make us all laugh. He is a part of my childhood that I will always treasure. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Gary was a good man. He purchased a car from my dealership and was very conscientious that all monies he owed were properly paid. He was always smiling, even when things weren’t so good. I’ll miss you, Gary. Rest Easy!
Gary, your struggle is over. My thoughts are with you and with your family during its time of need.
I will miss you Gary. You brought much to the meetings that we needed.

Gary will be remembered as an open hearted good soul who was exactly what he appeared to be ,
a supporter of friends , friendly greeter to strangers and uplifter to us all.
Gary, we’ll miss you but your smile and heart will always be with us. Rest in peace back with your family; God Bless the family and deepest sympathies.
Gary,
We had a lot of laughs together and I’ll always remember those times when I think of you. You had a great heart and I’ll miss seeing you. My condolences to your family.

Upon hearing the news of Gary’s death I was reminded yet again just how short and precious life is, every day. Gary was my friend, fellow, and brother (M.T. 109). He was always ready to help a fellow traveler on the Road To Happy Destiny.
I only knew Gary for a short time, a little over five years. But we became fast friends. I will miss Gary’s laughter, smile, and friendship. He gave of himself as best he could. I have but one regret; over the last 18 months I lost touch with Gary.
God bless and keep us all.
