It's been over 20 years since I worked at Weyerhaeuser and he was always a just a really nice man...  God bless his family..

RIP Gary! My thoughts and prayers for His family and  all affected by Gary’s loss. 
I was fortunate enough to be a friend, Coworker and I bowled on a league with Gary. Your positive attitude and your smile could light up a room. You are going to be missed my friend. Fly High and keep watch over your loved ones. 

I will never forget you cousin Gary or as you would say, “cuz!” There is an emptiness in my heart that will never be filled. He was an incredible and amazing person. I will never forget his genuine love. He was a true example of a pure at heart soul. This one hurts! 

Gary was truly one of a kind.  My husband worked with him for about 30 years at Weyerhaeuser Company and the stories they could tell.   They liked to attend car shows together too.  He was so easy to talk to.  My mom enjoyed talking with him, too.   He could get along with anyone!

He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

My heart is broken, we lost one hell of a person. I will miss uncle Gary’s smile and fun loving personality. He always called me “Sister Sarah” and every girl “darlin”.  Family get togethers will never be the same without him. I had some great conversations with him while everyone else played poker.  I’ll never forget his birthdays in Mio, him drinking tequila Rose and the “Rita Shield”.   I love you so much uncle Gary and aunt Barb. 

Rest in peace Gary, Will miss your crazy ways. Always had a great time with you and Barbara when you came to Vegas. Be with your cousin  in heaven. Very sorry for your loss  Barbara.

We will miss you very much cuz’n Gary. I know you are up there having good laughs with my daddy Vincent Kelly now. We love you always and forever. Love and hugs to you Barbara. Love, Stephanie, Shane and Ryan. Xoxoxo 

Gary was such a warm, friendly man! I’m sorry to hear of his passing. He and the rest of his family are in my prayers. Rest well.

My dear friend Gary PHY!!!  How lucky, grateful, and blessed to have had his friendship during the past 20 + years!  One of the things I admired most about Gary was his ability to laugh at himself..... We use to joke with each other about growing older.  I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to discuss with him what our friendship meant to each other......Gonna miss ya bud! With love, Gary Miceli.

Gary was one of the nicest and easy going people I ever met. You left us too soon but I'm so glad you are no longer suffering! I loved you and will miss you!!

Gary! I remember as a child how we would come over and play with your crash up car...We had so much fun...That one Halloween how you pushed me off the porch into the snow...How we laughed...Then years later how you always to CA and our visits...I will never forget the time we went to Wrightwood Fun Days and we left Jerry at home...How everyone gave us looks and came up to us and said where is Jerry and who is this guys...How we laughed at them...You loved going to Spirit River Cafe when you visited and how I kept sending you Pic of our food from there once you went home...I'm really going to miss our Tuesday Stalker Night phone calls...Hey Cuz I praise God that I did get to pray with you...I'm gonna miss you so much...Love You...Ginger

We will always have fond memories of Gary.  He was a great guy and we enjoyed his cheerfulness and smiles. He will be dearly missed.
Barb, you are in our thoughts and prayers for strength during this difficult time.
With Sympathy,
Dan and Elaine Jarosz

Gary will always be remembered as a good friend and an all around good and kind person.  We had a lot of good times through the years.  Lots of fun and good memories.  Gary will never be forgotten!

So many memories of uncle Gary always making everyone smile and cracking jokes!   He is missed dearly and will always be remembered!!!  I love and miss you.  

Cousin (or as Gary would say, "Cuz"): I'm eternally grateful the last few years that we got closer, as relatives, than we ever were. Our love of muscle cars (and food), gave us a bond. Up until this last week, we were still planning get-togethers and sharing car stories. I will miss and never forget you. 

So very sorry for your loss, Barb. Gary was such a nice man. The photo you selected of him is perfect. It shows his easy-going, friendly nature, his kindness. Please know we’re keeping  you and the rest of the family in our thoughts during this difficult time. 

Uncle Gary was my favorite! He was always the “fun” uncle playing with us when we were kids. He was always smiling and joking around. I will always remember him fondly 

I am so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. Sending love and praying for You Barb.  We were so grateful to have you as neighbors for so many years! Our hearts are broken that we weren’t able to visit with Gary these last few months. 
He was always great to talk to, and always eager to take care of his girl Jes when we were gone.  May his memory be eternal 
The Kleczewski family 

Barb, 
I’m so sorry to hear about Gary. He was such a nice guy and I have many fond memories of him at the family gatherings. May he RIP.
