Gary was my uncle and I will always cherish the many memories of family holiday get togethers and summer camping trips. One memory I’ll never forget was the time he had Jaycie Phelps and Amanda Bordon, 2 members of the 1996 US Olympic gymnastics team, write me personal notes wishing me good luck at nationals. I was in 7th grade and it made me feel so special and cool. I still remember going to practice the next day and expecting to hear that everyone got notes only to learn I was the only one. Then I learned it was Uncle Gary who orchestrated the whole thing. He was truly an amazing man. I pray for peace for his family.

I haven't seen Gary for a couple of years, but have been wondering how he was doing. He was a generous soul, always willing to help out with any tasks around our office building. May he rest in peace!

I have many fond memories of Uncle Gary. Some of them are when We all went camping in Philadelphia and I saw these giant bull frogs. I loved catching frogs and lizards back than. While everyone was at the camp fire I was by the stream catching bullfrogs. I picked up this giant bullfrog and took it over to the campfire. Everyone was so scared. Uncle Gary always loved to tell that story. Whenever we would say that’s not fair, Uncle Gary said the fair is in Columbus. I remember his cookouts in the backyard in the summer. He would always tease me about boys when I was younger. Uncle Gary was a very kind person with a heart of gold. I miss you Uncle Gary. All my love

Gary was a great man of service and extremely caring. I fondly remember his leadership during my time in Boy Scouts. He was always eager to help others and a great leader by example. Sending love to his family.

Gary loved his family , teaching and learning. He tutored so many so that they could pursue a college sport. Gary was involved in Boy Scouts with Chris and helped many . Gary also knew the value of having a truck! He moved mountains to help his family and others get to where they needed to go. May God continue to bless your family and friends as you have reached your final destination.

Gary will be missed by so many! He was always willing to help out, from lending me science equipment my first year of teaching to teaching me to drive his stick shift, so we could carpool to work. So many memories to keep his spirit alive. Goodbye dear friend.
