Passed Away: Sept. 14, 2004

*When I saw the news that a 50 year old man was missing during an overnight fishing tournament on Portage Lakes, I wondered if I knew him. Unfortunately, I did. I hoped they would find him alive. Gary's paternal grandparents lived across the street from me growing up and we always visited when he visited them. We remained friends through school. He was such a nice boy, it doesn't surprise me that he grew into a nice man. Patty (George) Tilson

*Gary, you were such a nice guy! Although I was younger, I remember you dating Stephanie and how you ALWAYS made us laugh!! Rest in peace my friend!!!!
