Julie, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. I was blessed to have Gary as a friend, colleague, and mentor for the last 8 years. The impact he's had on my life from a personal and professional perspective can't be measured by words alone. I will miss his witty dry humor and the fact that he always made me thing about things in a different manner. During our many times together it was clear how much he loved you and the kids and treasured his marriage with you! Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. I will keep you and the family in my thoughts and prayers. Bob

I knew Gary when we both worked at Bridgestone. Although we were in different Regions, I saw him at meeting and other company functions. He was always friendly and I really enjoyed my conversations with him. He was a true gentleman and I always appreciated his friendship. God Bless

Julie, Michael and Caroline, Gary was truly one of the great men I have had the pleasure to know throughout the years. His dedication to family and profession, along with a fabulous sense of humor were just several of his outstanding qualities. He will be missed yet always remembered. Our prayers are with you. God bless.
