To Garys wife and children, I knew Gary as a young child. My parents, sister and I lived in an apartment owned by Florene and Clyde, Garys parents. Gary and I played together as 67 year old boys and got along famously. The years and distance precluded our keeping in touch, but I will always remember his sweet disposition and his kindness. May you find peace in this time of loss and sadness, with His help.

GaryWe worked together in the same place for 35yrs and were member of the same union . We never did get to know each other that well. We talk in passing and in doing our daily jobs you as a metal trades mechanic and me as an operator. The times we did talk in casual conversation gave me the impression that you were a good friend to the ones you were close to. Rest in piece Gary. You will be missed.
