Gary was a great inspiration to to all he encountered! Especially in the APA.

Gary will truly be missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

You will be sadly missed...RIP, my friend

Gary will be greatly missed by so many people. He will always have a special place in my heart. He is one of the greatest people I have ever had the chance to know. Always a smile on his face and a great friend to me and my family. He always had a way of making my daughter feel special and was always willing to support her in all her school activities. May he rest in peace, but will never be forgotten. Love Chrissy and the Duncan Family

So sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with you.

Hi Linda, 
Art & I want to send HUGS your way.  We were so shocked when we heard.  I didn't realize it, but we've known the both of you since about 1992.  WE WILL MISS GARY!!  Let us know if you need anything.  Love Dana

Linda, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  I am at a loss for words.  Just the other day, he was full of life showing our team around in Vegas. I am so sorry for your loss

I miss you Uncle Gary,
You were my advisor, my therapist and I could always depend on you to tell me what I needed to hear, whether I liked it or not...lol...You stood in front of Bobby and I when we took our wedding vows and did your best to make sure we kept them : )
I will cherish every hug, every " hey girlfriend" and every silly crack about my shoes...lol....I will love you forever....Safe Journey

Gary could always be counted on for a welcome smile, a warm hug, a statement of encouragement before a match, and always asked, "How are you sweetie?"  Always a pleasure to be around and I will truly miss him.  I am so thankful that only 4 days prior to his passing I was able to see him and get one last hug.  Linda and family I am so sorry for your loss and I hope your comfort will come with knowing he is always there watching over you everyday.  Will definitely keep you all in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I have many good APA memories of traveling to Orlando from Jax for tournament.

Robert and I where very sadden to hear about Gary's death. Linda you and your family will be in our prayers. Robert & Jan Spradley

Gary was a great business man and an even greater pool league operator. He was humorous and serious at the same time.  Great traits to have in pool leagues!  Thanks for great memories when I was in Florida with you and Linda.

my heart goes out to Linda and the whole family of the Hatfield's,,,it was such a shock to hear it last Thursday,,,enjoyed the many years of knowing him and the whole Central Florida APA,,stay strong Linda

Gary you are a great friend to all of use and you will always be in our hearts and memories .To the Hatfield family our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. With our love the Baker family

Gary will be a GREAT loss to the APA family. May God give you strength through this difficult time.

Gary, you will be truly missed. We might have lost a great friend, mentor, husband, son and father, but we have gained a Wonderful Angel to watch over us. Our love and prayers go out to Linda and Family. We love you, Christie and Johnny Gosneigh
