Chris and Jenny I'm so sorry for your loss. Uncle Gary was a great man and will be sorely missed. I didn't get to see him nearly as often as I would have liked to, when I did he always had a smile on his face and his laugh was infectious. My sincere condolences go out to you.
So sorry for your loss. I spent many hours with Gary as his physical therapist after his stroke. He always approached his challenges with a smile and that ever present laugh. Gary had an unbelievable will and faith that he could survive and thrive. He did a remarkable job returning to his home and life despite his physical impairments. We had many laughs together. He had a great spirit and soul. His determination was impressive.
Uncle Gary is a man that will be missed. He always kept in touch with us way out here in Montana and I will always remember and utilize the many things he taught me about fishing! He loved to hear my stories of the fish we caught and the animals we harvested. Always had a great reply to the pictures we sent. He loved my son even thought he only met him once! My sincere condolences go out to all of his family. I look foward to our fishing trips in heaven. Love Brian and Gavin.
Jennifer, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how important your father was to your family, and that he influenced your boys' lives in so many positive ways.
Gary was a great friend and a wonderful human being and will be missed.
We are saddened to hear about Gary's passing, but grateful he is no longer in pain. We still remember the many family gatherings and the trips to Branson where he always caught his limit of rainbow trout! In his later years, we were constantly amazed at Gary's ingenuity that allowed him to live life as completely as possible.
Our sincere condolences to the family, especially Jenny, Chris and their children. Love you all so much! Sue and Bob
