    Marianne and Family, it has been many years since I have seen Gary. We worked together at Long john Silver’s. I believe it was his first job. He was a great young man. Always respectful and kind to all. I loved his sense of humor. You are all in my prayers. Take Care, Connie Skaggs

    My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I went to school with Gary. He was a nice guy and a funny guy. At our last class reunion he talked about his illness. My grandmother died with Parkinson so I know how devastating it is. I’m thankful his suffering is over, but I’m sorry for your loss. He will be missed by his fellow classmates and so many more.
