    Eleanor and Family:
    Please accept our sincere condolences . I sat quite a few hours with the two of you as you mapped out your next step in your life’s journey. I appreciated that Gary was extremely conscientious in his dealings with others. Gary had a great memory of this area and its history. I always enjoyed our conversations regarding his life and faith in Christ. We have valued both of you in our church fellowship over the last number of years, and he will be missed by all of us. I can only dream that someday my lawn could be as thick and lush as his always was.

    Bob and Martha Heywood

    Boa we have never meant, I’m Garys cousin and I don’t think I’ve seen him since I left Exeter in 1967. As kids we spent a lot of time together on the farm on Thames Road. I’ve often thought of him and wondered where he was. I don’t know why we lost touch but we did. I have great memories of him and the things we did as kids.
    I’m truly sorry for your lost.
