Liz,
I am so sorry to hear about Gary's passing. Stay strong my friend! Thinking of you in this darkened time.
Take Care,

My name is Rick Reeves. I grew up in Morrison at the same time as Gary. I remember watching him hit a home run for Morrison's American Legion baseball team, "Paul's Prestos". I also remember watching him play basketball for the Morrison Mustangs when I was a freshman. Gary was an excellent athlete and good team mate. I always thought he could have been a pro baseball player. He inspired my love of sport. May God Bless the memory of this Morrison Mustang always.
To Liz and Gary's family (and his sister Betty with whom I was friends with when we all worked at Rock-Tenn) you have my sincere and deepest sympathy!
All that has been written above is so true!!! Gary was the most friendly, polite, helpful person to work with. He knew when to be serious and when to be funny - and boy when he was funny, he was hilarious!!! Billy Stroud and he had a song they would harmonize together and it was great, got me laughing all the time!!! I know when I here it played, I'll remember those happy times!!
To Liz and Family. I can't express how deeply I feel for your loss. Gary touched lives in the way that most can't. He had an uncanny ability to draw people in and make us realize that regardless of life's spins, you should enjoy the moment. He taught us that we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously and that we should always see the positive in every situation. Gary was a true teacher and demonstrated that with everyone he knew. He had a kindness and treated everyone with dignity and respect, and effected more lives than he probably realized. I'm lucky to have known him and will always cherish the time we spent together. Things will never quite be the same without him.
Sorry for you loss...You have our sympathy! HUGS Kevin & Jonelle Hook
I'm sorry for your loss Liz and family. I loved playing golf with Gary, he had a great smile with a good shot or bad shot. Will miss him !

My condolences to Liz and her family. I will always have fun memories of Gary from member-guest, calcutta, and other outings at the golf course. He always had a smile on his face, was a great competitor, and so much fun at the 19th hole.

My condolences to Liz and the family. Gary was my 'birthday buddy'! We shared the same birthday date, February 6, 1957. We always joked I was the 'older one' since I was born about 2 hours earlier than him! I will miss his smile, laughter and heartfelt, joyous conversations. I will always remember him on our birthday! RIP Gary my friend!
