Never did I expect to lose my Daddy so soon. Though, I was only granted 26 years with him, he managed to fill them all with such fond memories. I could fill an entire guest book myself just listing some of my favorites, but instead I'll keep them in my mind for the rest of my eternity. My Father spent his life going above and beyond to make others laugh. Anyone who knew him has surely smiled through the tears of his passing, and that's just the way he would have wanted. Being the YOUNGEST child and being 'Daddy's little GIRL' proved to have its challenges as Dad never fully wanted to 'give me away'. Secretly, it made me feel good for him to not be ready to send his baby girl out into the world on her own to face whatever challenges it may bring. He remained (understandably) selfish until his illness took toll on him. I am fairly certain my Dad had been ready to 'go home' (join my mom & grandmother in Heaven) on the 16th, but he waited- waited to witness his only daughter being handed over to the man who would fulfill the duties that my father always had. He let us have one more nights rest and an anniversary all our own before he parted this world. I'll always know that even though he knew he was taking his last breaths, he still took them for me. So, in honor of the man who taught me everything in life; I ask you to continue to guide me in the ways you still can, always smile down on our family, and be at peace knowing that you genuinely and positively impacted so many lives. Lastly, as your daughter I promise to always cherish our memories, continue to live on through your spirit, and honor the great man you were. "I love you, Daddy. Always & Forever"

BACK IN THE '70'S ...MY HUSBAND CARL SZOFF WORKED WITH GARY...HE WAS 'ONE OF OUR GROUP'...WE PARTIED AND LAUGHED A LOT...IT IS ONE OF MY FONDEST MEMORIES....GOD BLESS...XO  KATHY

Dear Mr Bone, Laura and family. Gary was a great friend and neighbor! He amazed Michael by remembering childhood memories of Michael's car as a teenager. I enjoyed talking again with him at Mr Burbano's birthday party where he told me stories of my Mom and brothers. Also some of Michael since he was your neighbor down the street. Thanks for being such a wonderful friend Gary. RIP. Love Mary Fintor and Michael Roskos

Gary & I have been friends since 1975 when he came into the Engineering business. We became very close friends & remained that way until his untimely passing. My wife & I have very fond memories of Gary. We enjoyed doing many things together, mostly laughing and telling jokes. We were like a comedy team.
We will miss him dearly but we'll have the memories for the rest of our lives.
Rest in Peace my good friend! Ray & Virginia Vandekerckhove

Gary will be greatly missed in our family. His laugh and wonderful personality made him so easy to converse with. Our prayers are with you, Uncle Harry, Cousin Laura, and Gary's children and grandchildren during this sad time.
Much Love,
Michele, Thom, Andy & Molly Dombrowski

When Gary first got sick and finally came home after a lengthy hospital stay, we were at his house reminiscing about old times.  He was suffering short term memory loss but could remember minute details of the past. He recalled when we were teenagers the movie "Romeo & Juliet" had just come out and he saw it a few days after I did.  He came home in a somber mood and asked me "Will I always be this sad?"  And this is a question that I am asking myself right now, on a much, much larger scale.
It's only been 37 hours since we lost you at the time of this posting, but I miss you so much already I can hardly bear the pain.  You were the best brother any girl could ever have.  I love you with all my heart and I miss you with my entire being.
Love, your devoted and loving sister, Laura
