Dear Wanda, Carol told me about Gary’s passing as we just heard. I am so sorry for your loss. Another great soul has left us way too soon. I know it’s been many years, but I have such fond memories of our teenage years, and remember Gary coming by the house in Schomberg to hang out with Joe as they were good friends back then. I hope we can reconnect sometime Wanda. It would be good to see you. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Joyce, Wanda & family,
Jack & I are so sad to hear that Gary has passed. Gary was larger than life, a wonderful friend. We were trying to remember how long we have known Gary. I remember the two of you stopping at the farm to see my brother Mike as you were leaving on your honeymoon. Wanda we will pray for all of you.
Linda Cook, Dave Klein says
our dearest friend, we will miss you.
Wanda and family our thoughts are with you now and always. He was a fabulous guy and is missed in Emerald Lake Park.
Mike and Sharon Frankland says
Gary had Mike’s back after George died and their mutual respect quickly grew into a solid friendship. He was a straight shooter, had a great heart and we both trusted his judgement completely. Mike treasured their Saturday morning breakfast “dates” and his loss has left a hole that will never be filled. Wanda, thank you for sharing him and if we can do anything, please reach out.
