Our deep-felt condolences and thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult of times and although there is little that will dull your deep loss and pain at this time, it is our belief that your dear Gary and Jim have returned to God and are both reunited with Him and each other in the Heavenly home of Joys un-ending that was prepared for them from the very beginning.
Rest in peace Gary. I never knew you well after elementary school but I’ll always remember you.
See you on the other side. My condolences to your family.

I am at a loss for what to say. I will always remember Gary’s warm smile and sense of humor when I’d go over to the Fitzpatrick house as a teenager. I am holding Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Jo Anne and Debbie very close to my heart these days. Sending all my love your way.

Gary, we are so sad that you have left us in body. We know that you are here with us in spirit. When we close our eyes we can instantly remember your face, laughing out loud and joking like you always did. You will forever be with us, in our hearts.
Thank you for teaching us to never give up. Even in our hardest days we knew that you were pushing forward, and it gave us strength. This is a lesson that we will never forget.
Thank you for all of the wonderful times we shared. Thank you for the warmth you always showed us, transmitted through your hugs, your smile, and your loving demeanor. Thank you for coming into our lives and showing us the world through Gary’s eyes. We love you so much. xoxo
Helen, Jo-Anne, Debbie & families,
I was saddened to hear about Gary. Over the years, and most especially when listening to Jim talk about Gary’s courage, I’ve been impressed with Gary’s strength and resilience in overcoming every obstacle placed in front of him. Our deepest sympathies to you all.

Gary was a very courageous young man whose life was inexplicably shortened. It was a privilege to look after him and his family. Condolences also for the loss of his father.
Helen, Debbie and Jo-anne and family
You have been on my mind for days and I have been trying to find the words to properly express my sympathy for you. I understand your loss and know what a difficult time it is for all of you. It is a huge relief to know that Gary is no longer in pain or suffering and that Jim is showing him around his new found peace. Hugs to you all.
