So sorry for your loss. Gary n Linda were huge CCC athletic supporters. It makes me smile knowing they will be together.
For my entire adult life, no matter where it was. Every single time!
The Very First Thing that my Big Brother would say to me, was ...
Get a Haircut Dub! Yes. He called me Dub. Short for W. T. 😂
I'm really going to miss that.
He (Linda ) were my father’s Arnold’s foster parents I grew up calling them grandpa and grandma. They told me stories of my father and showed me pictures when I was little at their house , he would pick me up on the school bus, he would get after me as a teenager and would tell me to straighten up and if I didn’t take off the chain choker I was wearing he was going to cut it off with bolt cutters lol … he and grandma came to my wedding and got to see my boys grow over the years to the point my boys now love the butterscotch candies and the life savers. I will miss him but I’m happy he is with grandma now.
I remember when I worked Gary (pops), and I started to fall towards the Dice table and he caught me with his hands(lol) my mom going fishing together. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten by many. Prayers to all the family.
We didn't know Gary but our niece and nephew are Petie and Jeff. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers, especially our" adoptive son", Jeff and Petie.
