Robert and Dorothy our whole family is so sorry for your loss. Gary was such a kind and giving neighbor. He was always willing to help out and was so generous. He would come clear our driveway on the big snowfalls without ever being asked. He always greeted Nick’s kids when he saw them here and they were happy to see him. He made sure to leave them candy at Halloween! He will be missed dearly. May God rest his soul and give you both peace.
I would see Gary occassionally at STEM when I would stop by. He was always very friendly and helpful when we needed assistance. Rest easy Gary.
There is a large family reunion in heaven going on – rest in peace cuz, you will be missed. Give everyone up there our love, until we see you again.❤️❤️
