Lori and Millie, Jon and I are so sad that Gary is gone, but somehow it's nice to think about him and your mom finally being back together. Their relationship was so endearing to witness, the sweet ways they spoke to each other and how much they cared for and loved one another. Your dad was always so dang nice and welcoming to us when we'd visit you there at the lake house on our way back from Door County. He'd take Jon out on the deck and talk to him so earnestly and warmly, that for the day, we felt like part of your family. And I remember how comfortable and at home he looked in the lake, water up to his chest, just smiling to himself at how beautiful it all was--the trees and sky reflected in the water and his family there enjoying it with him. He must have loved those long summer visits you and Millie did every year. Each time we saw him, Gary seemed so genuinely happy, like he knew what a wonderful life he had, and how very lucky he was. We're so sorry for you guys. And we love you very much.

Dear Mark, Jim, John and Lori. My deepest sympathies to you on the death of your Dad. He and your lovely mother were such kind, caring, and lovely people. No wonder they raised you all with similar traits. I have such many fond memories of times we spent together at Lake Moshawquit—spring, summer, fall, winter. I know that your Dad was one of my husband Dan’s favorite people. I think of them standing on the dock gazing at the lake while they chuckled to themselve about some happenings or solving a particularly vexing problem. I also remember when your Dad and I would talk about our mutual experiences as freshmen at Green Bay West High School. We discovered that we were in the same homeroom and Latin class—always trying to remember the name of the woman who taught that class. Such good memories of a special friend. I miss your mother and think of her whenever I am visiting Jeff and Cecilia at the lake. Now your Dad will be sorely missed as well. May all the good memories and love you shared help you through this very difficult time. With much love, Pat Leshuk

Gary was one of the kindest people I ever met and definitely the most gregarious person I ever met. I will always remember the wonderful times my wife and I enjoyed playing golf with Gary and Jeanne in the Villages. Memories forever! Rest in peace, Gary. I will miss you!
