Dear Aunt Corinne, Myra and Tracey We are so sorry to hear of uncle Gary's passing. We always enjoyed visiting NC and spending time with the family there. Gary was a great story teller and what a treat to just be with him and listen to the stories. He will be missed greatly !! We still have the slingshot he made for Steve to keep the boys away from Monica. We remember his quiet gentleness. His love of his family and especially his grandsons. May God welcome Gary into His heavenly kingdom. God Bless all of you. Love, Steve, Cathy and Monica Navey Cincinnati OH

Our heartfelt sympathy to all the family at this time in your life. I appreciated knowing Gary through the years and spending a little time with him. The largest fish I ever caught was with Gary one rainy night in 1962. I counted him a friend. Louis and Patsy Hall
