Gary was such a good friend to my dad (Ray) at Fort Des Moines Senior Housing. I enjoyed his sense of humor and seeing his smiling face. He was a kind man and my life is better for having known him. Our thoughts are with you.

Grew up around Gary working at Burtis Motor. Later worked with him in sales when I was old enough to do that. Was a good man and very good friend. He has many people in SW Kansas that will miss him. RIP Gary.

I was so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. He was a very gentle soul and I danced with him a few times at the Eagles and Croatian dances. God bless you all until you meet again.
