Our hearts are broken in learning of the passing of a very dear friend.
To those who did not know Gary, he was a person who comes into your life only once. A very kind and caring man, Gary loved Drum Corps, never missed an event and was always on time. When Gary laughed, it was contagious; his upper body would go up and down and you had to laugh with him. He was the musical Mentor of the Third sopranos and taught them all with  patience.
He and Sue loved to travel, go to the casinos, and loved being with family. He was very excited to go to the Packers Game on December 4th, but God called Gary. When his wife, Sue, called, she said it was peaceful, no pain.
The Thirds will never be the same without Gary; he was their rock and we know he would want them to continue and play their HEARTS out and with time, they will.

Our prayers are with his precious family.

We want to leave you all with Gary's motto:  Live every day, as if it was your last, spend time with your family and friends and enjoy yourselves.

We love you, Gary and we will miss you forever.
