You probably don’t remember me but we worked together about 100 years ago at Tri State Alarm. I remember Gary as a little guy but more importantly I remember what a loving and caring mother you were. never having children myself, I can’t even begin to imagine your pain. my prayers are with alk of you. God Bless.
Rick Selfridge, YES I do remember you! That was so kind of you to say how you remember what a loving and caring mother I was to Gary. Gary, as you know, was my first born. Robert Ferrier is his brother and we both miss Gary so much. Two things I will never forget, the way Gary looked at me for the first time and the last time. My heart is broken. I can’t even replicate the feeling. I think only a mother can. I hope your doing well.
Better then when you knew me. a lot of rough years but June 21 I celebrate 18 years in recovery
My family and I were a bit more than acquaintances with Gary but whenever we’d see him, his caring and kindness made us all feel like old friends. It was clear that he had a big heart that touched many lives.
There isn’t a single day that goes by where u don’t pop into my head weather it be random or thought out. I am so angry at this planet for taken such a truly decent person. The why question wonders a lot throu my head. An the blame game an that whole thing. Than I try to remember the kind of person you we’re the kind who didn’t take no shit from no one. NO ONE. Big or small you always stood up for urself an the ones you love took responsibility for your actions an expected other too also . The kind who was honest even to a fault. The kind who hated the drama, the he said she said stuff. The kind who was always counted on no matter the circumstances. You we’re one of the good ones gary. N you definitely we’re taken way way to soon I miss u ever single day. I wish you were still here.
I love this. Very well said. I miss my son so so much. Thank you for your kind words. Lynn.

I miss you so much already. I don’t know How I’m ever going to get past you not being here. It hurts so bad. Like no other pain you could ever experience. I have to get it together for your brother. I love you so so much! Mom
We were blessed to have had the pleasure and joy of knowing Gary for over 20 years. His laughter and smile will remain in our memories. His love of coaching and teaching will never be forgotten. We will miss you!
With Deepest Sadness & Sympathy, The Kane Family-Bill, Linda, Nick, & Eric
Gary was my kids counselor at camp. My kids loved him and he loved them like they were his own. Gary always had a smile on his face, no matter what. He just set the tone for the day and I always admired that. To say he will be missed is an understatement. I truly am so sorry and saddened by his loss. May all that knew him keep his memory alive.
My condolences to the family.
I did not know Gary personally but Rob used to tell me that i reminded him of his brother.
Seeing his many accomplishments i now know what an honor that was to be compared to him.
