So sad to hear of Gary’s passing. We belonged to OHPC and loved to listen to his sermons. It was always a pleasure to find out he was coming to our church. A gentle soul and a good speaker. Sending prayers of comfort.

I was sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I have fond memories of him from time they spent at Otter Lake and the Community church.

I'm so saddened to hear of Gary's passing. He did my taxes for many years. I spoke to him recently. I'm not sure who initiated the call. I do remember how his calm, caring voice brought me peace. I thank God for bringing Gary into my life. Rev. Carole Miller
I had the pleasure of serving with Rev Gary when he helped transition Meridian Baptist Church after the death of their Pastor. He spent time mentoring me so that I felt comfortable moving from the pew to the pulpit. His support was wonderful. He will be greatly missed. Pastor Bonnie Seitz

Gary was a great help to me as I took the Treaurer responsibilities over from him at EBC. He was so patient as I asked question after question. He was a kind man and I’m sure he’s sitting in heaven looking over his family.
Rev Gary was a great friend to me and my family and him and Jeannie open their hearts and home to us, I Truley enjoyed my visits with him over the past several years and we shared lots of stories together. I only got to know him over the past few years and is one friendship I will hold deep in my heart and reflect on, for the encouragement and advise he gave me. Until we meet again my friend, I will miss our talks and visit and so glad I got to spend little time with you before your flight home to heaven.
