I worked with Gary for many years at Caterpillar. Gary was a very nice person and was very fun to be around. We spent a lot of time together in SS before he moved to KK. He will always be remembered. Janet you have our sincere sympathy and our prayers are with you. Bob Zimbelman

Dear Janet, My deepest sympathy; You and Your Family are in our prayers. I am still in shock to hear of Gary's passing. Gary is a true blue friend; an Old School honorable Man. I will miss our talks about guns, cars and politics, "till we meet up Yonder". He was always there to help and pitch in when someone was in need. The only time I heard Him brag was about You,Janet. He loves You dearly. Other than that, he kept humble about His great knowledge of mechanics and acquired wisdom. Gary will be missed by many.

We are so sorry to learn this sad news. Please let us know what we can do to help. Much love.

Carl and Sandy

You are in our prayers.  May God comfort and guide your family.
Mike & Annette Smith

Janet, may God Bless you at this time of loss. Keeping you in our prayer's.
Marshal and Sue

Words can't express what a true loss this is. I first met this wonderful man when I worked at Wal-Mart here in town. He was the highlight of my day. I have never met someone who was so nice, kind, funny and would've given you the coat off his back if he had to. My sincere condolences go out his wife and family.

you will be deeply missed, and to the family our condolences, what a great friend

Sending our deepest sympathy, Janet, Angie, and Silas and the rest of the family. Larry and I are so very sorry

Jo, praying for you and your family during this difficult time.

Such a shock to hear this, particularly when I had just spoken to Gary on the phone regarding his impending back surgery and some mechanical issues he had been helping me with. Gary's wit and sense of humor was enjoyed by our auction patrons and staff. When I informed our auction staff by phone, they were very saddened to hear this news, all of their responses can be summed up in a few words, "what a nice guy"!!!! Gary was an excellent ring and rack man due to his expertise in mechanics, tools, and love for cars and antiques. He was always willing and able to make mechanical repairs for clients and our auction services. He will be greatly missed by the Kiesewetter Auction Staff and its patrons. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the entire McGinnis family.

What a "shock" to learn of this! I had just spoken to Gary just a few days earlier about his impending back surgery and his repairing a hydraulic cylinder for me. Gary was a well liked ring man at our auctions. All of our "help" and patrons enjoyed his wit and sense of humor. Gary's mechanical expertise and knowledge of tools, antiques and cars made him a valuable asset to our auction services. He was always willing and able to repair anything mechanical. Upon informing our auction staff, they were all greatly saddened and their responses can be summed up in a few words, "What a nice guy"!!! He will be greatly missed by the Kiesewetter Auction Service and its entire staff. Our sympathy and prayers are with the entire McGinnis family in this time of sorrow.

To all who loved Gary.  You have our condolences and sympathy.  Gary was a man who had a giant heart and would do anything for you.  He has helped us many times when we told him we needed help with something.  We have only the upmost respect for this man.  Please find solice in the fact that you knew Gary.  He was a loyal, true friend...something not found often now days.  We have many fond memories of him as we are sure others do.  We think Gary would rather we rejoice in these memories than grieve for him.  It's going to be tough, but that is where our efforts will be.  Prayers to the family and thanks to Gary for being a part of our lives.  Rest in peace, friend!
Ron and Debbie Galloway
