    Dad I don't no where to start I found out you passed away when I was at the doctor Monday when I found out. I took it hard, went to the hospital Tuesday and Monday because I could not handle you being gone. I wish some one would have told me you were sick. It's not fair at all. I can't even call you or give you a hug. Don't know what to do with myself. You are no longer in pain, you are free of pain. I don't no how I'm going to handle this. Dad please watch over me give, me signs, you are okay now. I love you so much dad and I miss you, your daughter Kristin Ernst

    Our most sincere condolences to Gary's family! We are saddened to hear of Gary's passing. But happy that he is in a better place free of pain and suffering. We will miss him and all of the stories he had to tell.(There was never a lack of those!)🙂 I can only imagine the look of happiness when his loved ones and pets met him at heavens gates. Heaven gained another angel when the good Lord called him home. He will always have a very special place in our hearts. We will never forget him! May he rest in peace! Love and Hugs to you all!!

    Grandpa Gary, you will forever be missed, especially your humor and the way you always called everything "fool." I will miss your jokes and laughter deeply. You were deeply loved, and I will carry that love with me every day. My heart aches knowing you're no longer with us, but I find comfort in the hope that you're now at peace and free from pain. I hope you're out there enjoying the great outdoors. Rest easy, Grandpa. You will always be in my heart, and I'm honored that your name, Gary, is part of my middle name.

    Dad you will be missed! I will miss our hunting trips together, it always was a special time as father and son. I want to also thank all those who were a part of his life. Whether family, friends, co-workers or those that helped him in his times of need. Much appreciated 🙂
