So sorry Sheila, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.
Immerfrost Ice Rink was part of our lives back in the 1970’s. If I remember correctly, Gary loved hockey and made a great attempt to play it back in the old days. Just a genuinely nice person he was. The world is going to miss you.
The Affton Historical Society will miss Gary’s happy greeting and generous spirit.
We were blessed to be with him at every event, especially Christmas cookie baking. We were lucky to have you in our friends group and hope to meet up with you again.
To a wonderful brother in law who will be missed. We share the same birthday month so I’ll always remember your birthday, and will sing your birthday song
Every year.
Love and hugs and an early Happy Birthday.
Will never forget you . May you Rest In Peace
Shelia and family I am sending my thoughts and prayers to you at this sad time. I will not be able to attend the Mass or visitation.
