Gary's family-
So sorry to hear of Gary's passing. He sure was a great guy to work with and for. Although he was a little funner to be around out of the shop. I'll always remember him and his contagious smile.
God must've needed a euchre buddy.
Our thoughts and prayers, Bridget and Deano.

Sandy and Family. We are so sorry for your loss. Gary was such a wonderful gracious man. His humble, caring, loving spirit will surely be missed. I don't think he ever missed a reunion that I can remember. We know that he is having a wonderful time right now with Mom, (Aunt Barb), Aunt Berdie, Joetta, Nancy and all those countless - other "Moyers". May the grace of God be with you during this trying time and look forward to seeing him again soon as we all look forward to the ultimate "goal" of having him greet us at Heaven's door when we are called home. God Bless you all with peace. Lots of Love, Eddie and Susie

I was shocked to hear about the passing of Gary. We were good friends while he lived in McBain. We attended the same church, same school, enjoyed fishing with him and his dad, and had many other good times together. We should have kept in touch down through the years. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
