On the special occasions that I was blessed to spend time with Gary throughout the years, he was always so kind and humble. It was always a joy to see his smiling face. There are no words in times of such great a loss, but my thoughts and prayers are with his family. I have no doubt he is at peace and resting in the arms of his Father.

I knew Gary through work, although I never worked directly with him. But any time I called him or saw him in the hall, he always had a big smile on his face and he was ready to help. That’s how I remember him. May he rest in peace and may his family find peace in their memories of him.

Sincere Condolences. Gary and I worked at the County together, carpooled, and did lots of fun things outside the County. The first Christmas card I got each year was from Gary. I will always have fond memories and I’m blessed to have known him.
