Sorry to hear of Gary's passing, haven't seen him in 42 years but was thinking about him the other day for some reason. I worked one summer baling hay with Gary in the West Branch area in 74.Then I went to the Army and he joined the Corp, he was all Marine and it suited him. Godspeed Gary!

To Gary's Family --

Gary and I were classmates from Jr. high school until graduation. He was always a tough competitor in sports yet a genuinely nice and thoughtful guy in the classroom. I'm sad to learn of his passing at only 60 years of age. So sorry for your loss.

Gary's Family,

We are so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of Gary. He was a friend to all and a long time "adopted" member of the Christensen family. We have many fond memories of Gary including him hanging out with the Oellrich clan from time to time. He will never be forgotten.

Love,

Sherry (Oellrich) Christensen
