Gina and family I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. Please know that he is at peace and with his wife. You may not see him for this short life, but know that you will be together again and it will be beautiful! May God bless you and yours.

I’m so sorry for the family’s loss. He is gone way too soon. Gary married my Aunt Lois and became my uncle and he was like a dad to me when my dad passed away. He was funny, charming, had a good heart and he was an all around wonderful guy. My vacations to Florida will never be the same without you. You are reunited once again with Aunt Lois. I’ll love you and miss you forever. Thanks for being part of my life. ❤️❤️❤️

Forever in our hearts dad. I'll miss you every day

As a teenager I spent many summers working for Uncle Gary at Grandpa Jake's. We affectionately called Grandpa’s place “the store” and we went there to “work”. But with Uncle Gary, it was more like visiting a really good friend. Uncle Gary had a great sense of humor and always greeted you with a smile, whether he was telling you one of his own new original jokes or retelling one of Grandpa Jake’s classics. Uncle Gary, was kind, tolerate and patient. He cared deeply for his children, family and friends as he spoke frequently about them throughout our work day. I will always remember cruising in Uncle Gary’s T-bird, the grin on his face, while he played the dashboard keyboard to his favorite song.
