My sincerest condolences to Brian, Shelbie and their children, Lynda and her children and my dad, uncles and aunts. Uncle Gary will definitely be missed! He was a wonderful person. Stewart's may even go out of business without him there everyday.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know Gary all that well, but worked with Bill for years at the garage. My thoughts are with the Carter family at this time of sorrow.
ReplyDeleteGary was a great guy. He will be missed at the transfer station. I worked with him for eight years and in that time I always laughed when he was around. On behalf of the Clifton Park Transfer Station we send our condolences to the family Gary. Rest in Peace friend.
