Our condolences to the family. Gary always came by to see me in my office at the Highway Department when he came to Little Rock on Fridays. He was a good friend!
I’m so sorry for your loss. He always had a smile on his face. I’ll keep the family in my prayers.
Dear Rose and family,

My deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time. I hope the words at Rev.21:4 bring you comfort. It says: "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and death will be no more,neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.â€
Rose and Chris your both in my thoughts and prayers..
Rose and family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My dad (Melton Clark) worked with Gary at the Highway Department and he thought the world of Gary. The one thing that I remember the most about Gary is how good we was to his mom and dad. After his dad passed he was always helping Mrs. Viola in her yard. Gary was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.
Rose,
I am so sorry for you loss and am praying for you and your family. Gary was such a special person and I know you are at a loss. My God give you comfort during this time.
Love,
Sharron
Chris, Rose and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Gary is out of pain, and he is having a reunion like no other. I pray that you all have the strength get through with the days that are coming. Gary would want it that way. I will keep yall in my prayers. God bless this family, help this family get through the pain and sorrow they are feeling. God bless you Gary Wayne, you will be missed. Love inChrist.
Gary will be greatly missed. While we did see each other much in recent years, Gary and Rose are always in our thoughts. We had a lot of fun back in the Mounted Patrol and in the deer woods.
Prayers and healing thoughts

Praying for you Chris. It's so hard losing a daddy because he has been your rock and idol all your life.
Rose, We are so sorry to hear about Gary. He was a joy to be around and we know there will be a big void in your life. I know he is with the angels,probably telling one of his funny tales! We love you guys and praying for comfort. God Bless and we will see you at the visitation.
