It is always sad to lose a brother veteran and mason. He has shared and given so much. May he now rest from his labors.
Those of us who served together over there formed a bond that transcends time and space. We were brothers in every sense of the word. We watched each others backs and we stayed close to do our duty and protect our brothers who fought at our side. So it is with respect and admiration that I bid you farewell. The honor of rest in Arlington and the peace there shows the gratitude of our nation will be a lasting tribute to your bravery and service to our nation. May you rest in peace.
Wishing Gary’s family peace and many condolences in this time of sorrow.
I hope your out of pain now Gary

Gary will be sadly missed by his family,friends, and all his brothers here at Kirkwood Lodge 446.
My condolances to the family and friends.
Although I never got to actually meet Gary, I felt as though I knew him through many stories from Dayna. Some funny, some serious, some extremely touching. But enough to know he was a man that truly loved,was loved and will be greatly missed.
Gary, a veteran and Brother Mason will be sadly missed. My condolences to the family. Well done good and faithful servant…well done.
Gary was proud of his country, his unit and his lodge and a tribute to each.
“Airborne my Brother, Airborne!”
My cousin will be sorely missed. I know he is now out of pain and with our Lord. Dayna I’ve been trying to email you but your screen name isn’t going through anymore. Please write me if your able. I wanted to make sure everything was ok.
Love,

I’ll never forget the good times with you and Dayna. Laughing so hard we’d cry. Drinking pots and pots of coffee together and just being there for each other. I know that you are with God because you gave your heart and soul unselfishly for all of us and now it’s your turn to receive all the love and comfort of eternal life. I’ve missed you and Dayna this past year but I’ve never forgotten neither one of you. I love you both. Kisses and hugs to a special Angel. Love, Sandy
Though we never met he is both a brother veteran and brother Mason. I would like to offer my condolences to Dayna and her family. I would also like to offer the following that I wrote several years ago to commemorate another Brother Mason.
