Gary loved his family so much. We want to thank the Premier Nursing staff and Baptist Hospice for their good care of Gary for the 8 years he was there.

Gary’s smile…endless, contagious, could light up a room, man, I’m sure it’s lightning up heaven right now. I remember visiting him with my grandparents at Aunt Gert’s and Uncle Jay’s and having so much fun with our cousin Jimmy making him laugh. I will always remember his jovial and lovable nature!
The only thing I can think of to say is God just greeted his happiest ANGEL!
Gary’s smile won me over the moment I met him! Mr. Handsome… my Buddy. My dear friend!!
I told him all my secrets and he told me some of his!!
Bless this Family

Brenda and John so sorry to see the death of Gary he was a really good and fun guy. I met Gary many years ago when him and his Dad came to shoe store Gary always knew exactly the style of shoe he wanted and always the style and brand that was most poplar. He was also with his Dad when they would come and get my car for service. He was a real Razorback fan and a very important part of a wonderful family.
