I remember Gary as a compassionate and considerate gentleman. He always had a smile on his face and he was never too busy to stop and chat with you. May God watch over the family he left behind and I pray that his legacy will inspire others, not only in his family but to friends who are left behind, to be men and women of intregity and honor. Gary was an honorable man.

Uncle Gary will be greatly missed!! He had a wonderful sense of humor, honesty, kindness. No matter how much time had passed since I last saw him,he would give you the biggest hug and kiss.He always made you feel like you were important to him and loved! I love you Uncle Gary!! Juliana

In my childhood and youth, I was lucky to be surrounded by a fantastic group of "grown-ups" who I still remember perfectly. Although many years have passed, Gary's words of wisdom, and lack of judgment, in my teenage years, will always hold a special place in my heart and memories. Judy, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.  You are all in my prayers.

My sincere condolences go out to the Messinger family. Gary will be greatly missed.

When my parents asked my Uncle Gary and Aunt Judy to be my Godparents, it truly was God's plan.  I cannot imagine anyone else in this great world that could have fulfilled this job being my Godfather and of guiding me in my faith better than my Uncle Gary.  A true model of love and humility, you are a gentle soul, and your love was shown to all you came in contact with.  I will love you forever Uncle Gary, and while I will miss you every day, I know that you have been born to eternal life.  Until I see you again.

Gary is in our hearts for as long as we live.  We await the time we can pick up the great friendship we have shared in this life, in our next life.  We give thanks for all the years of love, sharing, memories made and treasured.  We will miss you more than words can say.  Your family's loss is ours too.  Eddie, Marie, Mike, Joan, Patricia & Robert

My prayers go out to the Messinger family. I pray that you all find comfort in the wonderful memories.. Judy, Patsy, Doug, Kelly, and Janet you have much to be proud of! Much Love, Susie Thompson (Heckethorn)
