When it came to reflect on Gary Widetich's passing, I found the words came with great difficulty.  For more than 30 years, I knew Gary both as a friend and colleague.  I remember him as a kind and complex man with a confident smile, a one of a kind laugh, and with a great sense of devotion to those he cared about.  I also remember Gary for his ability to craft amazing things out of wood, his love of football, the Cowboys, and oh yes the great outdoors and hunting.  I remember flying out from New York to Denver to stand in for him to teach the Orientation Class the day his son Drew was born, the joy in his eyes over his birth, and the love he expressed for both of his children. Thanks to social networking, which facilitated our ability to reconnect after so many years, I remember the unexpected phone call he made to me on August 24th for my birthday just two weeks before his passing,  and how delighted I was to receive it.  I now remember the phone call as a conversation I will so value for ever.  Gary, I will miss you. Rest in peace.

I can't believe you are gone.  Our friendship extended through high school, working together at PMUSA and many phone calls during life's turmoils.  You were a kind and caring gentleman. May God rest your soul.  Jessica Page Brettmann

To Gary's Family & Friends,
Thoughts and prayers are with you. Memories of Gary & his exploits always come to mind when remembering my childhood in Englewood.

Goodbye my love.   My heart aches for your passing and for the events that we could have had for our future, but rejoices that you came into my life when we both thought love was never to be again.  You were an incredible person so full of energy and talents.  Goodbye my Country Gentleman and remember it is "Amarillo by Morning"  not Alabama by Morning.   You are safe and without pain - go with God my dear Gary.    I love you!!!

Gary was a great friend to many of us and we will miss him.  I especially will miss his great laugh and friendship.

DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF GARY,
I WORKED WITH GARY WHILE HE LIVED IN LAWRENCE KANSAS AND HE WAS A GREAT FRIEND.  I ENJOYED HIS SENSE OF HUMOR EVEN WITH ALL THE BAD THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO HIM IN THE SHORT TIME I KNEW HIM.  I KNOW THAT HE LOVE YOU ALL AND HE WILL BE MISSED
