I have many fond memories of the trip I took with Gary and George to Nashville and Memphis a few years ago. They were fun to travel with and we had a lot of laughs. Thanks to that Trip, I have developed a lifelong interest in old cars now. I also can’t see a patty melt on the menu without thinking of Gary.   The trip was supposed to include a visit to the Grand Ole Opry. However when we got there, we found out it was closed because there was a high school graduation occurring. I thought Gary would be disappointed,  as we sat down to figure out a new plan. However at that moment, the doors opened and the kids started streaming out, exuberant, meeting up with their families for photos. The grin on Gary space was priceless.  I know he enjoyed that much more than any tour we could’ve taken. I hope when he gets to heaven, he gets to meet Elvis. Thank you to Patty, Jullene and all of you who made that trip possible for the three of us. I’ll never forget it. Carol Giuliani, Senior Travel Companion Services, LLC.

Gary was such a friendly guy and he will be dearly missed by everyone whose life he touched and my condolences go to you all.

My memories of Gary go back about twenty five years when he began coming up to visit with Patty and family.  He loved going to Flekkefest in Elbow Lake  to go out to our family farm by town for visits with my brothers Allan and Merlin  and their families.  It always was fun when Gary showed up! The trips into town to the car shows were a highlight of  the day,  but the biggest event was always the parade! 
Gary's reactions were part of the fun, at flekkefest and anywhere he was while visiting up here. The Shoreline at Battle Lake, the Viking Cafe in Fergus Falls,  the shopping for his car collection and the Christmas visits were all fun when Gary was here. 
Gary's memory was amazing! He could recall things from years ago that anyone else would have forgotten. He was usually in a very good mood and made friends wherever he went, quick with a joke and a laugh.  We all had a little more fun when Gary was here, and will miss him so much.  
Sincerely,  Lois 

What a guy. Happy to have been apart of his life. I learned a lot from Gary and I'm forever grateful for that. Condolences to all who cared and loved him. 

Patty and Family, 
Sending our deepest condolences at this time for your grief and loss.  Gary was such a special soul who will be greatly missed.  It was an honor to know him.  Erica
