Gary will be greatly missed but remembered dearly in the great times we shared.  My prayers and thoughts are with you Jeanne, Shelby, and Cameron. Sorry for your huge loss.

I think back at all the great memories we shared with Zuk.  His laughter, his smile, and his genuine kindness.  He was always there to help us whenever we needed it even if it meant not doing something for himself. After we moved to Tennessee, Gary and I were able to work together for several years.  I am truly blessed to have shared such great friendships and our love of Mustangs.  We will all miss you greatly Zuk.

We're glad we were able to spend some time with you and Jeanne last summer.  No matter how how much time went by, we felt as though it was just yesterday - sharing stories and laughs. You will be missed.

I am so sorry to learn of Gary's passing.  I have very fond memories of him from Southfield High School. Such a nice friendly guy,  My heart goes out to his family and all who knew and loved him.  I wish you comfort in your memories of him.

I am deeply saddened to hear that Gary has passed on. His memory will forever be in our hearts.

So sad to hear of Gary's passing. I spent years of my high school days working on or riding in his Mustang. We would find any good reason to skip class and go cruising. We spent many 1st periods at the Clock restaurant or Big Boys mostly bench racing and talking about everything. I hadn't seen him in years but he will always be in my thoughts.

Zuk, 
You're gonna leave a huge hole in my life, all the memories from high school thru college and beyond...all the shenanigans we pulled, the trips , the cars,the parties, the motorcycle rides, the boat, and all the friends we made along the way.I will always remember your smile and especially your kindness to myself and everyone else. Rest in Peace my friend

We will all miss Gary very much, but we all should remember what he taught us, which was to keep a smile on your face and not sweat the things that are out of our control.
Love you Buddy.

It breaks my heart to here this very sad news. I have wonderful memories of Gary in my early teens, Gary was by my side at 15 years old when we went to Saginaw to purchase my 71 Boss Mustang. I was with him when he bought his 70 Mach1. Building engines in his basement, Gary installing a Eight track and cranking it up listening to the Boston sound track.  I have not seen him in many years, but he has always been in my thoughts. 

Uncle Gary what can I say, I honestly don't think I ever saw you without a smile on your face my whole life even when you came to Arizona to visit me when you were ill you were a trooper climbing those steep hills with the best them smile on your face and all. You will always remain in our hearts forever and will always be loved and missed. Love you so much <3

Gary and John lived on our street and were a part of our lives for many years through school. I will have the kindest of memories of Gary and John. Peace to them and the family. I will attend the services. Mike Wright

Gary will be so greatly missed. He made our family complete. He was the most loving, kind, gracious, caring husband, father, brother, brother in law, son, uncle-Gar-Bear, and friend. God Speed Gary!

I have such fond memories of Gary from the late 70's and early 80's.  He and my brother Ken were very close friends.  They bonded over their mutual love of cars and were always working on them.  Gary was like a big brother to me back then and I remember him always being so sweet and kind.  I am extremely saddened to hear of his passing.  My sincere condolences to his wife, children and family.
