Gary (or Grandaddy to me) was one of the nicest and sweetest people I ever met. He taught me how to love, care, and pray for others. He was truly a very faithful man, whenever we went to church he would make sure we all paid attention and he would ask us about the homily after. Some of my happiest memories with him were when he would play ping-pong with all of us or when he would take us to DQ (he loved ice cream.) I will always miss him and he will be in my memories forever. ❤️❤️

I met Gary nearly 30 years ago as we both shared a passion for record collecting. Every time I saw Gary, he greater me by saying "hello sir!". Gary always showed love and respect for everyone. Years later, when I got married at 42, Gary and Paula attended my wedding, what a pleasant surprise! It hurt to see Gary in a sickly state over the last few years but he always kept a positive attitude and smile on his face. I learned alot from Gary in the 30 years I knew him,Treat everyone fair was his motto in life and his love for spiritual things was his foundation. I look forward to seeing my friend again in the coming resurrection. (John 5:28;29)

The Burgess Family, It was an honor to know Gary. It was another great honor to know Paula and the most awesome children I have ever met. Gary always listened to my crazy stories, and I love to see him smile when I thought I was funny. Never knew exactly what he was thinking because he was a man of few words. My memories are mostly of his wonderful children, I was in awe of how this man managed to raise five of the most amazing children on the planet. Gary, in my eyes, will always be remembered as a great father, how you raised five of the most loving children and how you knew how to keep the family unit together. Life has a way of moving fast and it has been a few years since we have talked. Gary, you are a man of men who I looked up to. I will see you soon in heaven and you will once again have to listen to my crazy stories. Love you my friend. My heart goes out to all the family and my prayers will continue to flow in spirt to each of you. Paula, I love you, you are the glue, you are the spirit, you are so sweet and so kind. You have passed that along to your children. Please hear my prayer and hold it tight to your heart. My heart, my mind and my spirit are thinking of you during this time. Much love Brad
