So sorry for your loss. Gary was a great co-worker and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
To the dear wife of Gary, I live in your neighborhood on Spring Valley Dr. My brother worked with Gary and has a lot of funny stories he has shared with me, If there is anything you need at all i live in the green house 2 story. My heart aches for you during this time with love and caring thoughts.
My deepest sympathy to Gary’s family. May all of the memories bring you comfort. I didn’t personally know Gary very well but have heard on countless occasions what a wonderful son and person Gary was. During my 11+ year friendship with Sandy I can not think of one time that she spoke of him without a huge smile of her face. He truly made her happy and proud. What a loss this is for his family, friends, and all that knew him.
Gary was a friend and a great co-worker. We will all miss him down south slinging freight with us all night long in nashville. We have truly lost a brother, and our heart and our prayers go to gary’s family, friends, and all of us that were lucky enough to know him. Con-way Freight Chattanooga, TN
Gary you will be missed,but as long as i’m a driver you will be in my driver seat at all times. R.I.P.
To the family, It hasn’t been that long ago that I saw Gary. It was a surprise but a very welcomed one. He came to my mom’s funeral Candice A Ray Roberts. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
