Sue, We’re so sorry to hear about Gary. He was a wonderful person. I remember many fun times with him including the day we met you two. I could just sit and talk to him for hours. He was an easy-going guy and we loved the time we had with the two of you. God bless you both.

JoAnn and I have many pleasant memories of the times we spent with Gary. He was a real joy to be around. We especially enjoyed our times spent with him at the Delaware Dinner Club gatherings.
He was a real friend, and we will miss him.
Sue, our condolences to Gary’s passing. We alway enjoyed talking with him about his passion for cars and looked up to him for his knowledge and advise he shared with us. We never forget when both of you gave us a Porsche Book when we received our first 911. We will cherish this book in memory of Gary. He will always be in our hearts. May the memories of the time you had with Gary help you through this difficult time.
OUR HEART GOES OUT TO YOU SUSIE. WE HAVE A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES OF MANY DINNERS TOGETHER AND A LOT OF LAUGHS WITH GARY & FRIENDS THROUGH THE YEARS. WE WILL MISS HIM.
MUCH LOVE.
Sue, We were so saddened to hear of Gary’s passing.. Having started our friendship in Florida as “snowbirds” our friendship was instant. We enjoyed golf together, going to dinner (790 Club bread pudding) and other fun events. We were very fortunate to have visited you both in September. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the family.
All or love. Tom and Donna
