Dear Rita and family, Gary was a beloved friend for many decades. In fact, due to Gary and Roger, I met my Vytis. And you know that became our history. I could never express my joy when learning of Gary’s and Rita’s salvation. Our husbands are fishing in heaven now! And I hope God is giving them the fish that put up the best fights after trying out multiple lures and breaking fishing line and having the fish jump out of the net and all the best stories we heard and shared that lit up their eyes with such joy! My sincere condolences my friend and sister in Christ. Joy to your family. Lovingly, Barbara Lelis
I am very sorry to learn of the passing of Gary. Gary and I worked together at Kodak, and he was not only a colleague, but a friend who I liked very much! May he rest in peace.
Rita and Family, Bev and I will be keeping Gary in our prayers. Our deepest sympathy to you and all who knew him well and will miss him.
Rita , Heidi and Julia, We are so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing . We will keep you all in our prayers . Wising you peace in this difficult time. Love LaVon and John , Erica, Liana and Jonathan ❤️
Sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Eileen (Ralph) Benza
Thank you Barb, Gary loved you guys. Often remarked how blessed Vytis was finding you. We also thanked God for the resulting faith you both shared in Our Lord and Savior. Sweet Barb, won’t be long before we see our guys again and will celebrate in our new heavenly home together. Love, Rita
Dear Rita, Heidi and Julia, Please accept my sincere condolences of the passing of Gary. I have had the good fortune to have known your Husband and Dad since grammar school days in the mid 1950’s. We got to know each other even better as Classmates at Aquinas Institute, Class of 1960. This was followed by working together at Kodak for most of our careers. In addition we were members of the Fisheye Fishing Club for over forty years. Needless to say, I have felt very close to Gary for many years and will miss his presence greatly. He was a man of strong faith who is now in the loving care of his Lord. “Well done good and faithful servant.”
Rita, Jerry and I want to express our condolences on the loss of your husband, Gary. It was good to see you and Riley while on your walk today and thank you for telling us of your loss. Our prayers are with you and you family as you grieve Gary. May your memories be a blessing.
