Dear Kathy, Dave, & Family
I can’t even put in to words of how sorry I am for your loss. It kills me to think of the pain that you are all feeling. The shock of finding out yesterday was like a nightmare. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He was a smile, a laugh, a breath of fresh air from a bad day. He was a good friend and somone you were proud to be friends with. He will be missed everyday. I’m so sorry!!!!
Love, Gina Carleo & Ron Sniff

Words cannot express how sorry we are to hear of your loss. Our hearts and prayers are with you, as always. (I) will always remember Gary’s brilliant smile, his upbeat personality, and his ornery look sometimes when he was about to crack a joke or tease one of the kids at family gatherings.

I have only known Gary for a short time, but the time I spent getting to know him was a very positive experience. I enjoyed our comon interests we had for trucks and motorcycles, it was always a pleasure when Gary came into the dealership so we sit and visit. He was a true “proffesional” in his field and will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Kathy and Evelyn,
It’s hard to find the words to express the loss I feel with Gary’s passing. Kathy, you’ve lost a excellent husband and best friend – Evelyn,you lost a son that any mother would have been proud of. The rest of us of lost a good friend who will be missed by many. Several in the trucking business have contacted me to share their shock, sadness, and stories. We all want to help in anyway you might need it. God Bless you both.
Dear Kathy,

Dear Kathy
I was very sad to hear about Gary. He was always very friendly. My heart and prayers are with you and yours.

Dear Evelyn & Family,
I was very saddened to hear of Gary’s passing. Although I hadn’t seen Gary for years, I remember making quick friends during his summer visits with Ann & Wesley in MN during our younger days of the 1970’s. Wesley is a good teacher and you could see Gary was a quick learner when it came to “mechanicing” on things. He was into Peterbilt’s and motorcycles already then. I’m sure he enjoyed trucking. Please know we are thinking about all of you at this sad time.
DEAR AHO FAMILY,
I AM SADDENED TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. GARY ALWAYS BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE EACH TIME I SAW HIM. ANGEL, IN DISGUISE, AT MY DOWN TIMES. WILL MISS HIM TERRIBLY! GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY AS THEY DEAL WITH THE PAIN OF YOUR LOSS.
