I first met Gary in 1986 through a mutual friend.  Over the years I saw what an honest, decent man he was.   He always took the time to say hello and never failed to take a few minutes to talk.   I have always respected him and will forever remember him.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends while they deal with the loss of a great, kind man.   Much love, Tammy Howard


I met Barb in the early “80’s” and soon found out a Perk to being her friend was getting to know Gary. Gary was such a genuinely kind, generous,& fun person. I was included in so many fun celebrations & family events,  through the years.  I have many Happy memories of our times together.
Rest in Peace & Comfort

Gary was a lovely friend and neighbor.  Art and I would so enjoy seeing Barbara and him at Spanish Trail as well as being guests in their beautiful home or attending their wonderful celebrations.  He was always so gracious and welcoming.  We are sad for Barbara, his family, and for his wealth of friends.  

We first met Gary when our son began dating his daughter Heidi.  Gary was a gracious host and an extremely knowledgeable man who knew a lot about Lax Vegas which was new to us because our son had moved there from our home in Buffalo, New York.  Gary was always fun to talk with and he knew more stories about the cast of characters in the early days of Las Vegas than you could shake a stick at. As time went on and we visited Las Vegas more, we really enjoyed Gary and Barb and their warm hospitality.  We will miss his smiling face and decent manner.  We are so sorry for the family’s loss.  In sympathy—Randy & Bernice Meidenbauer 

Gary always had a smile and a kind word when he would greet you.  He will be missed by all who  new him. May he Rest In Peace. God bless
