My words can never express how wonderful my Grandpa Gary was, or how much he will be missed.  As a child, some of my favorite moments were visiting my grandparents in Colorado.  I fondly remember playing solitaire in Grandpa??Ts office while he worked, sharing popcorn with him on his breaks,and riding around with him to look at Christmas lights.  As I got older, Grandpa was there to help move me into my college dorm room, move me out of my sorority house the day I graduated, and helped me move in and out of different rooms countless times in the years between.  He always told me I could call his 800 number if I ever needed anything, and I did!  Whether it was directions or a tow truck that I needed, Grandpa was always there to help.  As I began pursuing my career further from my family, Grandpa was always a cheerful voice at the other end of the line that could listen to my work struggles, and laugh at them with me.  I will never forget his laugh.

Grandpa Gary was the ultimate grandpa.  He was the one who fit me for my first pair of shoes.  Somehow he changed my childhood hatred of shoes into a love of shoes!  I will never forget shoe shopping in Colorado as a teenager.  He wasn??Tt with me for the first purchase, but was right by my side for the second and third return of the flawed shoes.  He always said, ??oThird times a charm.??? While I was in high school and college I would sleep in until 11:00 or later and when I would finally roll out of bed he would ask, ??oAre you up for all day????  Of course that brought laughter to everyone.  Grandpa Gary was also right by my side when I purchased my first car.  I knew he could help me bargain for the best price.  When we were finished he said I didn??Tt need him, but while he didn??Tt say much during the purchase of the car I knew that if the salesman didn??Tt treat me right grandpa would take care of it.  He was a great man and a wonderful grandfather!  I will miss him immensely!

Gary was the most wonderful kindhearted Grandfather, Father, Husband & Friend.
He will be truly missed.

My sincerest condolences to all of Gary's family and friends.  Gary was always that cheerful laughing man at the other end of the line.  He will be greatly missed.

To my wonderful Aunt Maurine and family, Gary was such a nice guy and what a gentleman.  He always had a smile on his face and I so looked forward to the family picnics in Rapid City because visiting with Gary made them complete!  I felt very privelaged to call Gary my uncle and I will miss him very much.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time.  Love, Loretta

Gary was a fantasic person.  Although he was a vendor of mine, he was much more.  He loved to talk about his family and was excited when he was getting ready to travel to see the grandkids.  He became a trusted friend.  He will always be remembered by me as a friend.

I have worked with Gary since the old days 20 years ago, and was always able to count on his word, his sense of humor and his strength of character. I will miss him, and my heart goes out to his family. He made a big impression in the world of flatbed transportation, and I know that Rick and the gang will carry on his legacy. Here's to you my friend.

My deepest sympathies on the loss of your loved one, taken from you too soon.  God Bless and may he rest in peace.

I have worked with Gary for 5 years. I enjoyed working with him very much. I will miss his voice and his laughter. You do not often get the privilege to work with someone like Gary. My sympathies to the family.

Gary was wonderful business partner and a great person overall. He was an integral part of the Skyline Family here.  I'll miss him and all he did for us.

it was a pleasure working with him.god bless him and family.

Gary was the first neighbor we met when our family moved to Windsor last year. I enjoyed our conversatations while he was outside perfecting his beautiful lawn. There have been occasions during big snowstorms that our driveway was cleaned before I even got out the door to do it myself. I had no question that it was Gary that helped us. I'm sorry for your loss and his neighbors will miss him.
