I am so saddened by Gary's death. we had so many happy times together and he gave me three wonderful boys. Gary was a good man, a good dad and grandfather. He loved his kids and grand kids. I will miss you Gary.

Immediately after meeting Gary for the first time I knew just where John got his funny sense of humor. Gary certainly fit right in and put several smiles on all of our faces. I know he will be deeply missed by all.
John and Crystal,
You, Kaelynn and the whole Smith family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

You will be missed Uncle Gary. We love you!! You and family has always been big part of our lives. As kids we were always excited when Uncle Gary , aunt Nancy , and boys were coming to visit us WV. He was great uncle , father , and grandfather.
