I am from Tupelo Ms area. Gary contacted me about a job while I was living in Horn Lake Ms! He sent me info about position, although I didn't take the position at that time, I did work for Physicians out of Birmingham later on in 2010. I found out he passed and was sadden. I have a folder set up on the info he sent me about Physicians and to this day I use that folder for any job info i receive! John 5:28-29 tells of the hope of the dead waking from sleep and living on a paradise earth.

Gary & I were co-workers for the better part of 10 years from 1996 thru 2006. I am saddened to hear of his passing. Gary was a kind man, a class act, and his love for his wife & daughters was very easy for anyone who knew him to see. Rest in peace my friend...

I am very sorry to hear the passing of Gary. Gary was a good customer of mine while he was in construction in lincoln. I always respected the way he took care of business and how he got things done. He and I shared some funny moments and some sad moments. I was in his office the morning of 9/11 and were both glued to his little tv he had in his office. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and gary may he rest in peace. pat

I was so sorry to hear that Gary lost his battle. I graduated from Central High with him, but didn't really know him then. I met him again while we were planning our 40 year reunion. He was a very kind man, and I enjoyed working with him on that event. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. May you be comforted with the knowledge that he will no longer be in pain and you will all be joined together in the much better, brighter world where angels will sing and the Lord will smile upon you all.
