To my oldest and best JOLIET friend, neighbor, golf partner including all our crazy business ventures, I am heart broken to hear of your passing. We both moved to other States, and a visit to you in Arizona was one of my top plans on my bucket list. Moving ones life away from family & friends lends itself to put things on the back burner until we "have the chance", then everyday life just seems to get in the way.
I will forever cherish the late nights after midnight when we both come home from work and shared a pizza and a couple adult beverages in your driveway, or our working together at your very own store... The WALNUT GENERAL !
{ Not forgetting after closing hitting River Club to unwind !}
I love you my friend and now I must put a visit to your final resting place closer to the top of that list. GOD willing I promise to see you then.
My thoughts to all the family and of course the kids, who, all grown up now should make you so proud. You were a good man and I will never forget you.
GOD Bless you.

My deepest and most sincere condolences to the whole family! I am having problems with my computer and was finally able to get some response from it this morning. I feel terrible that I did not hear of Gary's passing until after his service was over! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. So sorry!
