Thinking about all the times we spent playing cards, going out to eat, and just spending time together. Although I was the last daughter in law to become part of the family, I'm so grateful for the relationship we had and all the time I got to spend with you. You are an amazing man. You have made a huge impact on so many lives and left an indelible imprint on all of our hearts. I love you and miss you.
Our thoughts and prayers to Gary and his family.
Dad, you were a great dad, but you were more than just a dad to me. You were a great role model and helped shape me into the person I am today. I will always remember the vacations that we took over the years. As a father, you were always there for us no matter what. I am grateful for all your support over the years. You will be truly missed. I love you dad
You Father was here and was instrumental with our startup and machine setup, as Greg noticed today, he is remembered. May God Bless his family and keep them safe.
I could not have asked for a better father in law. Dad had a heart of gold and you always knew he would do anything for you. You are not suffering anymore dad and you have peace. I know you will be watching us all and guiding us. I love you and will miss you dearly. It has been a true honor to be your daughter in law.
We we're so fortunate to have such a wonderful grandpa. The trip to Disney, wild west, swimming, I've cream shops, and walks to the gas station for slushies I'll never forget. I can only hope to have love like him and grandma have. He was quiet but he didn't have to talk for you to feel his love. I know he's up above and looking down on us. We have one more guardian angel now :) I love him very much and will always have a place in my heart. I love you grandpa! Thanks for being the best grandpa I ever could of wanted!
Will never forget all of the great memories with you. I could not have asked for a better grandfather. You will always be in our hearts.
