    Gary was not only my brother -in-law , he was my friend. He had that gruff look but, in reality he was just a teddy bear. I do believe his favorite word was WHAT. My sister ( Toni ) knows what I am saying. Always a great time hunting, fishing and even playing video games.
    Forty plus years of good times and memories. My wife, Alice and I will sorely miss him. It is a sad time in my life.

    Barb & family; I’m so sorry for your loss. Gary was a fighter and he fought to the end. May God be with you and Bless you and take care of you through this time. Kay

  11. Fred Sonnenschein says:

    Gary made every hunting and fishing trip a blast- the guy was an absolute hoot, he had a heart as big as his belly ( he is laughing at that one) -You could always tell that he loved my sister,- I know, because I was there when they met 42 years ago- as with the loss of all good people, he leaves behind a void that can not be filled.

    Toni, when you look at his chair,try to see him there !

  12. Hans & Dorothy Menck says:

    Barb & family- so very sorry for your loss. God be with you all in this sad time.

  13. Jody Korhonen says:

    I could not have asked for a better father in law. He was there for what ever we needed. To see others happy,is what made him happy.He loved his grandkids, pets, and Old Style beer. Sitting outside with the kids and dogs running around with a beer in hand he was happy. He also loved fishing and Old black and white movies. I will never forget him he live forever in our hearts.I love you Toni .

  14. Naydene Hines says:

    So sorry for your lost Barbara. I didn’t know Gary well but I’m sure he’ll be missed by many.

    God always calls his angels back home. Gary will always be watching over you. Jesus will comfort you in your time of sorrow.

    Love & Miss you.
