Oh my gosh, I am SO sorry!!!!! This took me by surprise, I know we have not seen you guys in awhile, but we didn't know he was ill. He was always with a big smile and in good humor. My heart goes out to you, and honestly, I do mean it, if you need anything, PLEASE let me know. You two were the first few I met in Tioga and always, always so kind........ God Bless to you all. He will be missed........ Gail you let me know if you need anything now......... promise

You were so funny and sarcastic and witty and kind. Thanks for helping raise all of Heather’s friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better second dad. Thoughts are with the family. Big hugs to everyone. I will play a bunch of oldies today and think of you.

Sending my love, thoughts, and prayers to you in the loss of Gary. He was such a kind man. I graduated from Ray the same year as he graduated from Tioga. I see Gary's dads smile in this picture too. Back in the day when the motel was going strong, I would call him and say "This is Linda in Texas, I'm coming for Ray Grain Palace Days, do you happen to have a room? He would always say "Sure". Enjoyed visiting for a bit and catching up. His dad was our Standard Oil man and he and my dad were good friends. Now I have a mental picture of his mom and dad being there to greet him when he reached his Heavenly Home. May God Comfort all of you and may He wrap his loving arms around you this day. Thank you for live streaming his service also.

My thoughts are with you family at this time. I have such fond memories of you all. I appreciated all the weekends I spent with Rick and I can still see Gary sitting downstairs in the basement going through his 45s and taping them on blank cassette tapes.
