  1. I had the privilege of meeting Gary while he drove bus for CCCSD. It takes a special person to drive a bus full of students. He was quiet but always had a ready smile with a bit of a twinkle in his eye. That’s how I’ll remember him. My condolences to Gary’s family.

  4. Always looked forward to our family visiting Uncle Gary and Aunt Carol when they lived in Plainfield and had horses. It was a great adventure for me as a kid! Uncle Gary was such a good Uncle to me and my siblings. I’m thankful I was able to spend time with both Uncle Gary and Aunt Carol when visiting them in 2016. Was hoping to go on a fishing trip with Uncle Gary before he passed.
    My prayers for him in his new life with our Lord and for Aunt Carol and my cousins. Until we meet again Uncle Gary❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
