There is no one memory to share about Gary. It’s mostly his quiet demeanor, giving nature, and that he had an open ear that reminds us about him. He was always willing to listen and genuinely cared about what you had to say. I smile when I think of... moreThere is no one memory to share about Gary. It’s mostly his quiet demeanor, giving nature, and that he had an open ear that reminds us about him. He was always willing to listen and genuinely cared about what you had to say. I smile when I think of the images of him being “goofy” for the kids, whether it was acting things out for our Recycle games or making silly faces for our never ending family pictures. A couple things that put a smile on my face when I think of things he liked were dried fruit and warm pie. He was the master turkey carver for Mom too. Like I mentioned before, he was perfect for Traci, an amazing father to Natalie and Scot, and he will truly be missed.
We love you Gary.
