Sorry to learn of Gary's passing.  He was one of my best accounts and so much fun to work with.  I was so hoping he would beat this.  My thoughts are with his family.

My condolences to Janice and her family.  May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

This is so hard for me to write.  Pete was a great uncle but also my friend.  I could always count on him for anything that I ever needed.  He could make anyone laugh and was always so positive and made sure everyone came before him.  I have comfort in knowing that Pete is dancing with the ANGELS now and is no longer in pain.  i pray for Janice and Carrie to have peace and comfort.  I love you Pete and I will miss you.  Until we meet again.

We could never have had a more wonderful neighbor than Gary.  He could fix ANYTHING electrical and was always the guy who would volunteer to help those of us who were not so gifted.  Gary, we will miss you. your helpfulness  and your wonderful wit.  May you rest in peace with our Lord.

I met Gary in the business world and he quickly won my confidence with his expertise but due to his wonderful personality, it didn't take long for us to become personal friends. I was lucky enough to hunt with Gary in Colorado for six years and we had some great times there.  He really enjoyed those trips in the mountains as did I.  I'll always remember him as one of the friendliest, kind and easy going people I've ever met.  He was always so happy and had good things to say about people. In a very short time after I met Gary, I learned that the source of his happiness was his wife Janice.  Whenever he spoke of her (which was often), a glow would come across his face.  
Janice He loved you very much!  The way he spoke of you, one would think he met you just yesterday.  He was smitten.  
We will all miss his jovial personality.
RIP buddy.

You were the best Uncle that anyone could have hoped for. You were always giving and always there for your family. I can't thank you enough for everything that you did for me and for our family. I'm certain that God has a special place in Heaven for you. I will miss you.

My heart goes  out  to  you  Janice and family.  I know you and Gary have had a great and fun ride for a long and loving time.  I will always remember Gary laughing and cutting up with me.  He loved to make me blush with funny jokes.   I will always remember  Gary.  He was a delightful  person to be around.  I still have the bear he bought you and me when we came back from Florida.  I know his jokes and fun will keep  them laughing in Heaven. God bless you and keep you Janice.  You are a wonderful  couple.

Thank you for being my uncle.  Rest in peace. Xoxoxox

I loved Pete.  He was the person that brought our family together.  He lived life to the fullest.  He was fun and full of pranks.  He will forever be missed. Prayers of comfort and peace for you Janice, Carrie, Steve, Jessie and Austin.

I am so blessed to have had such a great man in my life!...  I can't begin to tell you all of the good, right, fun & lasting things that I am (& have) because of the seemingly insignificant things this man spoke in my life...  Thank You For Taking Time For Me...I'll see you in the morning on that eternal side!...

Gary & I were school mates back in Soper,OK where we both graduated in 1963. I will miss him terribly. He is in a better place where there's no suffering & is with God tonight.
Prayers to the family.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of Gary.  It was a pleasure to work with him these last 5 years.  He was a kind and generous man.  He will be greatly missed.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, Janice and your family

Such a loss. Great man that will be deeply missed. With love and prayers to Janice and family.
