Gary always made us all laugh . 

i used to have a Bart Simpson mask and we were at a bar in our early early 20's and we asked the dj to announce there was a celebrity in the house and Gary came out ou stage with the Bart Simpson mask on singing along to the very popular Bart Simpson song at the time . 

The whole crowd loved it . I wish i had a video and / or photos to upload . It was Classic Awesome Laughter and Fun with Gary which I know All of us experienced many times over . 

Most importantly I admire , respect , and leaarn from The Great Husband , Father , Brother , Friend , and Person Gary Is - I am sure he will always stay in everyone of our hearts forever . 

Love , Brad & Mary Anne Johnson & Family 

To the Gentner family, my sincerest condolences. Out of all the people I've worked with over the years at Humana, Gary was the nicest and most engaging person I can remember. I was always excited to run into him at pharmacy conferences, knowing that smile and authentic self would make a business environment feel a lot more like home. I will miss him, and wish all of you peace

We have struggled to find the words to say good-bye, dear friend. Instead, we will say "See you when we get to Heaven!"  Because we know you are with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Until then, we'll cherish the memories of all the fun times and life events that happened along the way. 

You were always the one with the biggest smile and kind heart. Always ready with a funny remark or a helping hand - usually both!

We are grateful for the time we had with you and to be able to call you our friend.

Love,
Bob & Diane Staggs

I have worked with Gary for several years through Outcomes.  Aside from shock when I heard the news of his passing, I immediately thought of Lisa and his girls. He  was so incredibly proud of all of you. Gary has always been an extreme pleasure to work with. He is such a predictable, kind and light-hearted man with great sense of humor. He was so dedicated to his family first and foremost, but also worked so hard to make everyone he worked with feel like family. This will leave a huge hole in my work family. Sending my sympathies to his real family. 

I knew Gary from those magnificent, Gentner loaded softball teams at St. Martha. He had a rocket arm and could put one over that right field fence with the greatest of ease. I think they constructed the net in right field to keep him from bouncing home runs off the parish residence. I lost touch with him after I hung up the glove and spikes, but I am saddened to hear of his passing. 

If God has a co-ed softball team up in heaven above, I can assure you Gary is patrolling the outfield and sending long fly balls to another cloud. 

Rest well, buddy. You left a lot of great memories for so many. Maybe you can help your Dad on the heavenly griil now...

Lisa picked a great man to be her husband. Gary became a beloved part of the extended Porter family. Ed was happy to share the son in law spotlight because Gary always made everything fun! His athletic ability, sense of humor, his love and loyalty to family, and  his kind hearted spirit was second to none! We have so many great memories of Gary to cherish! Until we meet again brother!

Gary had a great sense of humor! Many years back, our offices were across the hall from each other on the 5th floor at the Humana Tower.  Humor was the best anecdote to get through often stress filled days. Gary was always great to work with and super smart. He always went out of his way to help others. At one point, we learned we were cousins through the Ray's. I lost touch with him over the years, but anytime I'd run into him, we'd always remember those good laughs on Hum 5. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. So sorry for your loss of this very good man.

To my awesome big brother, thank you for the lifetime of memories we’ve had together. From when we were kids and we tried to blame each other when we were in trouble; playing all kinds of sports together; me, you and Rick sharing one room together(no idea how we did that).  Then on into b-ball and softball leagues together. To being a part of our own families and seeing our kids grow. You’re sense of humor always put a smile on our faces. Still remember when you broke the  family room window with a wiffle ball hit showing off to the nephews. We laughed our butts off. 
You’ll always be with me. From your 5 siblings, we love you brother and thank you for being a huge part of who we are. 

I was lucky enough to have the privilege of working closely with Gary on the MTM team at Humana. Gary was without fail the guy who made you feel welcome, told the most amazing stories, and always made the room brighter with his amazing sense of humor. I feel so incredibly lucky that I got to be a part of his extended Humana family. 

To Lisa and Gary’s two beautiful daughters - please know that you were the center of his world. His smile was always brightest when he talked about you. Our thoughts and hearts are with you during this time. We will all miss him greatly. 

This is my second memory - 

My Wife and I Mary Anne enjoyed having Gary as part of our wedding . He along with all the others made our wedding a remarkable memorable experience . 

My Wife Mary Anne also reminded me of Gary coming to our Children Sara's & Geoff's Birthdays when we lived in Shelbyville Ky .

Gary is an unbelivable sincere friend that was always encouraging , funny , supportive , talented , etc . I had the pleasure of meeting Gary's Wife Lisa and getting to know her as well and they are both amazing people .

We have all had our own families and responsibilities over the Years but Gary made all of us fell like whether we spoke once a week or once a year that we were as close as ever and would do anything for one another .

Lisa, I’m so sorry for your loss. As I understand the unbelievable hurt. I would like to say it gets easier but I will say your in my prayers and thoughts. I’m sure Dewey was there to welcome him to Gods Kingdom for that is how I deal with Deweys death knowing he walks with Jesus. You will be in my heart for all the days, weeks, months to come without your man.
