  1. He shared his happiness with everyone and you always felt good after a conversation with him. He was a wise soul.

  2. Anne,
    Gary is one of the happiest, most positive people I’ve known. He’s like a shining bright light when he walks into a room. That big smile and that jolly voice. He always looked at the positive and if there someone had a problem, he’d help to find the best solution. “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” LOL. He is definitely a “happy camper.” Just know that you have a new Angel on your shoulder. He’s up in Heaven with Mike and Dad watching the Eagles, having some wonderful deserts, yet keeping his eye on you. I miss him already. Love you!
    Love,
    Your baby sister–Jill xxx/ooo

    Love,

    Mom

  4. Dear Anne,
