I was saddened to hear of Gary's passing. But I know this, all those things that he pondered on concerning God have now been answered. I look forward to seeing him again in heaven. In my 35 years of knowing him, he will always be remembered as a rock solid friend and christian brother. I am truly fortunate to have known him.

Louise and family,
Linda and I are so sorry to read about Gary's passing. We would have been there for the funeral, but we are now living in Myrtle Beach. As you know we were childhood friends and there are a lot of memories of our friendship with him and Jim during those years as well as those we had during our time with you all at Central. I know that God will be your strength and comfort during this time of loss. You wil be in our prayers. May God richly bless you and the boys now and always.

Gary was a great man and true friend. He was one of a kind and will be missed by a lot of people. I have been truly blessed to have been one of the christian faith that Gary shared his great knowledge of the Holy Bible with. His insight to the kingdom of god has been instrumental in my faith and that of countless others. I cannot express in words what he has meant to me and my family. I am proud and privilaged to have been his friend. I know that he is with god but will always be with me in my thoughts and each time I pray to the savior that he was primarily responsible for me to come to know.

Louise & family:
We were so saddened to hear of Gary's passing. Heaven gained a special soul on Thursday. From our first day at Central Baptist he made us feel special. It was a joy to hear him teach, he was so knowledgable of the Bible and a very interesting teacher. He will be greatly missed. We will pray that God will wrap His arms around you and give you comfort in this time of sorrow. In Christian love,
Jimmy & Teresa
