I met Gary while shopping for a motorhome and from my first impression found him to be a straight forward honest person. I trusted him and the results were positive. I am truly sorry for the loss of such a good man.

Uncle Gary, Some of my best childhood memories are our families camping trips to Canada. The mornings usually starting out with a morning bellow of "BABBOOT". ( nickname you had for my dad).You had a nickname for everyone. You and Dad, packing all of us kids in a boat and headed to or "adopted" fishing island named by our families. "Rock Bottom Rock". And on our last night of camping,you and dad making a display of the best fireworks a kid could ask for. (along with setting the high grass at camp on fire as well). Thank you for all those memories. I know your with your lady love, I bet you even have flowers. Hugs and kiss's to you both. Love you.

Saying goodbye to such a damn good man this early is wrong in so many ways. Dad, no matter the time, the place, or how mad I was you always knew how to make me smile. Even if years had passed between us seeing one another you always reminded me how much you loved and missed me and that I was always a part of your family. As years will go by now and I will not physically see you again in this life please know that I will always think of you and will ALWAYS love and miss you! Your Jefiner

Dear Sandy and Family, I am SO sorry to hear of your loss. No matter what the circumstances are, we are never ready for "the end". The video tribute was beautiful, and a testament to who Gary was, and who he will continue to be through his children, grandchildren, you, and his numerous camping friends. May you find comfort and peace in all those happy memories, and know that he would want you to embrace and celebrate his life to continue his legacy for all time. May God give all of you strength and a stronger family bond through the difficult times ahead. Thoughts and prayers are with you. xo

It's so sad to be writing these words...the wounds are still fresh after last year. You've been an exceptional father-in-law to me, and a wonderful father to my husband. I feel blessed to have known you. Godspeed.

Where do I begin, our families used to go camping in Canada together over 25 years ago.I can still remember you taking my mom snipe hunting,she will never forget that.You,Kathy, my mom and dad bowled together for years and then life happened, divorce of my parents, friendships not kept up, even though our families haven't seen each other in a long time, when we did run into each other it was as if we found family again.I wish we'd found you sooner, God bless you Big Gary, you're going to be missed.

Well poppa, here we go again. I still don't wanna believe that this is happening and I'm at a loss for words. You were the best grandfather a child could ask for and anyone could see that. But you're with gramma now and that's the best thing for you. I'll always know that if it's quiet enough to hear an ant fart, that ant will definatley be you <3 give gramma a kiss and hug for me. I miss you guys like crazy. Love, Mikaela

Big Brother, My heart is aching and feels like it is being torn out of me. I want you back so much even though I know you are now in a better place and with Kathy and Mom and Dad and all the other people you so love.I chickened out in the end, I left you when you still were looking good, you knew me, and we laughed and cried in our last goodbyes. I knew I would never see you again, but I had this beautiful memory of us. You were and always will be my "Big Brother" and you will always be my "Knight in Shining Armor". I'm going to miss your sweet voice when you call just to say hi. Take care my love, and when its my time please come and get me with Jesus. I hope your journey home to Jesus was as I told you it would be. Give our Mama a big kiss for me okay. I love and miss you so much, Love Lil Sis XOXOX

Fishing trips to Canada with you and Aunt Kathy are still some of my favorite stories to tell...as well as the time your and my dad cut off one of Uncle Bill's handlebar mushtashes when he fell asleep on Christmas Day. Tell Aunt Kathy I said "Hi" when you see her. Hugs and prayers to my cousins left behind during this time. They are both together again.

Hello Favorite Father in Law. As you look down on us, know that we are OK. We are strong, we are compassionate and we are loving. We are these things because of you and we will get through this using what you have taught us. We also learned to eat vegetables (well they did). We learned to hang an extra set of lights even though we’ve already blown a circuit. We even learned how beautiful a flower garden can be! You have left a lasting impression on so many. To me…the greatest lesson you taught me was how to be a good dad. I envy the relationship you have with your children and will work hard to live up to the bar you have set. Love, You’re Favorite Son in Law

Dear poppa. I don’t know what to say but I really miss you. I am sad that you left because we can’t go camping anymore together but at least you and momma can go camping together. You are the very best grandfather I have ever had and I really love Christmas with you and the rest of the family. I miss getting called Nickicola! And I loved when you brought desserts over especially pie. If you can give momma a kiss and hug for me and tell her that I love her. You are going to be getting a lot of these so be ready to do a lot of reading! I promise I will do the best in school I can. Love, your Nickicola

The look on his face when i won some matches i shouldn't have was absolutely priceless, he just lit up. I will never forget this and all the other moments i spent with him. i love you and im going to miss you so much.

Dearest Gary, Where do I begin? So many GREAT memories. We were next door neighbors at Darien for many years and You & Kathy & Rich & I were like glue. We did everything together. Remember the Golf Cart Parades and the awesome Tank & Pirate Ships you built around your Golf Cart? I think you won 1st Place both years! Your spaghetti and mamouth meatball dinners were so awesome :) We went to many places and did so many things together that I would have to write a book to mention them all. Your gardens and coi pond were incredible and I can't forget your Beer Ball garden...LOL You can be very proud of the wonderful family you raised and the beautiful grandchildren that will keep your memory alive. It was a pleasure knowing you and I will miss you always.

poppa, i can't even believe this but there are no words to describe what i am feeling right now. it was your time you wanted to be with momma more than anything and im so happy you're with her, because i know you are happy now. things are going to be so different without you here. like what mom told me, things aren't going to get any easier you just gotta learn to live with or without it. i love spending christmas with you, and i love camping with you. i would do anything to go back to the days where everyone would come over to your house and spend the holidays. i miss you like crazy. rest in peace poppa i love you<3

Ok I just spent a half hour writing my thoughts anf poof they were gone so here I go again. Dad you were and always will be the number 1 man in my eyes. You were my father my best friend and the person who helped me become the person I am today. I can still hear you say to me michael you issed your calling after i would call him from a good or bad night of bowling. Yeah i should have taken those words of encouragement a long time agao but who knows maybe I would have what I have today. An Amazing wife and family that is. I swore I would always be strong as my father raised me to be but in less than 24 hours I am showing and expressing that strong is only skin deep. I love you dad and I am sure mom was there waiting for you when you hit the bright light. Please give mom a kiss and hug for me. I love you more than words will ever express. You made me the man I am today. I will miss you always. Love you always Pooh.
