I was so shocked when my daughter Renae called me to tell me of Gary's passing away. I feel like I have lossed a big brother. I wish I could have been there for you all, but I just could not have enough time from work to fly home. Lee and I moved to Mesa, Arizona Last March. I will keep you in my prayers. I understand your loss and I will miss his great sense of humor, and the love he had for his family. With Love and sadness,
Helen Grondin
You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time of loss.

I have great memories of growning up with Gary and his family. He raised such great kids and he always had a smile on his face. "Hi, Chris!" he would say, smiling. I have been trying to contact Sandy or the kids without much sucess, my information is old. I will keep trying. He was a great man, so kind and gentle.
my thoughts and prayers are with you all in your time of loss.with deepest sympathies..bob

Robin, Suzie, Gary & Family,
I just heard about Gary last night. I am so am still taken back by the news. My heart goes out to the family. I was just thinking about Gary at Christmas time. I'll always remember his smile. That is they way I always picture him. How his eyes would smile too. Again, my deepest sympathy.
We send our deepest condolences to Gary's family, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Gary, Tyler, and Family. I couldn't belive it when I heard it. I saw him a couple days ago and he looked in top shape. He is probobly the most incredable men I'll ever know. It's never goodbye to a person like that, it's only see you later. Michael Williams.
I would like to send my Sympathy to all of Gary's family. I've known Gary for about 40 years, and he was one of the nicest men I have ever met. All of you will be my thoughts and prayers.
