I will miss Gary from school years to business years to just plane friendship years. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Sheila Lattig Carmichael

Gary, I wish we had met, but it wasn't meant to be just yet. My wife met your daughter, Lara, yesterday which is how I learned of your ascension to a place where pain, anger, selfishness and all other useless and wasteful emotions or suffering no longer exist. I wish you love and luck on this new adventure. God bless you and yours. To Lara and family I give my condolences and prayers, also my praise for having been able to spend much time with him through the years, remember each moment and cherish it. RIP.

My prayers for your family! Gary was such a dynamic man that loved Jesus and his family so much. He is discussing all those hard questions and laughing as a healed man in his Saviors Arms now!
