FAMILY TRIBUTE

Gary worked as a Milwright. He loved playing softball, fishing, hunting and spending time Up North.

Lisa’s Thoughts

For 30 years, Gary was my everything. He made me feel loved, safe and protected. Gary loved to hunt, fish and play softball. He enjoyed all that at our place Up North at La Beans on the Pond with his family and friends. He taught Cesar how to fish and shoot. Kenneth called him Papa Bean and Gary loved that.

He was an amazing Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Friend. We all lost a special man and a phenomenal human being.

Brandy’s Thoughts

He came into my life at 6 years old and raised and loved me as his own. He did everything he could for my mother and I.  He taught me my morals, Academics, sports, responsibility and everything else I am today. He was always so proud to call me his daughter. He didn’t have to do all that he did for me but he did. I will always remember as a wonderful father, husband, grandpa, brother, son, and friend.

I could never repay him for all that he did for me. For my high school graduation he sold his house boat to pay for my party like I said he made sacrifices for me when he didn’t have to. Thank you for all the homework help, basketball practices, taking me to  hockey games, vacations, and the life you gave us I appreciate all of it. He worked so hard and deserved the world. Now he is resting easy and at peace. We love you GarBear.
