My husband and I are volunteers at the New York State veterans home. We became fast friends with Gary and he would visit us in the Commissary every time we were there. So shocking to hear of his passing , so sudden, or at least to us! His dear friend , Linda, an Army Veteran, misses him terribly . (Go Army!) How Gary loved to pick on her and she loved it! We only wished we had know of the funeral plans before they took place, we would have been there!! RIP sweet friend, Gary. We miss you so very much..

Our hearts and prayers are with Gary's family. Gary was a very good person and well liked by his friends. I personally will miss seeing Gary everyday here at the NYS Veterans Home at Oxford. Gary and I became good friends. Gary enjoyed hearing about what was going on around Delhi and Delaware County. He will be greatly missed.

Sending my sincerest condolences to Gary's family. I had the privilege in knowing Gary when I worked at Delaware County DPW back in the early 1990s. He was a terrific guy. Hold on to all the wonderful memories you have and let them help you through difficult days. Warmest regards, Patty
