Sorry to hear about the passing of my old friend. I worked with Gary at the Schwartzwalder Mine outside Golden for many years. Gary was good hardrock miner. Infact he worked the same stope, 1609 on the swing shift. Gary always on the swing shift. I also attended the Colorardo School of Mines and like Gary I grew up in Ohio not far from Oberlin, Huron.

I was so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I saw him often working on the house or in the yard as I passed his house on my way to work.

I am so saddened to hear of Gary's passing. We were neighbors on Hollywood Street and I have fond memories of summer nights cruising around Oberlin in his '58 Chevy. Sorry we lost contact over the years. My condolences to Kent, Jane and the family.

I am very sorry to hear that Gary is no longer with us. I was a classmate of 1964 OHS with Gary. All classmates are very valuable and Gary was no exception. He was loved by all of us, not to be forgotten.
With deepest sympathy to his family.

As children, Gary, Kent and Jane were neighbors of ours on Hallauer Road back in the 1940's. I have but a few memories and I am sorry to hear that Gary has died.

I am sorry to hear that Gary has passed on. I am sure he is in a better place. My connection was with my parents, Vernon (Beanie) and Betty Sanders, and aunt and uncle, Dan and Wilma Pietch. My father worked for Harlan and both my mom and Gary's mom worked at the college. My first job was working for his mom. We lost contact through the years, but the last contact was with Wilma and Gary's love of dogs. Joe McCormick became Cindy Lou's dog walker in their neighborhood. Wilma is living at Keystone Pointe in LaGrange. She will be saddened to hear the news. God bless your family.

As a classmate of Gary's at OHS 1964 I am remembering Gary as a strong, smart and gentle soul. I was so glad to bump into him in his yard last year as I walked our dog on Hollywood. He seemed glad to touch base with an old classmate and I will miss seeing and talking with him again. My condolences to Gary's family.
