Dr. Land , had done several surgeries on me many years ago/ he told me I was his youngest patient (at that time frame to have the donor lenses surgery) I always will remember how he gave me back enough vision to be able to finally drive. What a blessing he gave me with his tremendous skills . Rest in peace Dr. Land .
Dr. Land performed surgery on my 6 month old boy’s eyes in 1982. I remember him saying, “the book says to do this, we’ll see if the books right.” I almost fainted! Loved his bedside manner and sense of humor. RIP Dr. Land
I met Garry only briefly at Ellery's graduation, but the conversation we had will never be forgotten. After a chat on walking sticks, the discussion turned to other things, including our faith in Christ. Garry talked of how proud he is of the pastor his church is blessed to have, how grounded this pastor is in the Bible, that the Bible is The Word of God, and the pastor is teaching on Revelation. He also spoke of the devotion he has to his congregation. We talked of the coming Rapture and how magnificent this will be. Well, Garry beat us Home but just from our conversation, we can all be assured of exactly where he is right now. I cannot help but believe that Garry helped lead many to Christ and was unafraid to speak of the travesties that are taking place in America's once solid churches, which have now fallen. I also feel Garry heard the words "Well done!" when he arrived Home. I pray that others will take up that sword that Garry proudly held high, stay strong in our Lord and carry on where he left off. I'm sorry I could not have known this man long before that one brief slice in time, but I am most thankful I got to meet him at all. I hope we'll get to know one another better when it is my turn to leave this world behind. Blessings and peace be with the family. May God comfort your hearts as you grieve this loss.
I had the privilege of spending a good amount of time with Dr. Land when I was just a young kid. He patiently taught me about fishing, boating, and rod building, and I still share that knowledge and tell stories of times spent with him to this day. Some of my fondest memories come from fishing bass tournaments with him and getting to drive the boat. He will be greatly missed.
All the Land's have a special place in my heart. Both Garry and Sandra have much to be proud of for their own accomplishments as well as their children's. I'm very honored to have been a part of it. Garry will be sorely missed. Hand. Salute. Ready. Two.
