Faithful until death, Gary was an active member of Bethel Lutheran Church where he loved attending Sunday bible study and service.

  10. Heartfelt condolences to you. I admired Gary for his perseverance despite his illness. I met Gary at A&M Baseball. Unfortunately, I didn’t know him well, because I’ve only worked at baseball the last few years. He made an impression on me though, because he always had a smile on his face. I could tell he was a very caring man. At one of the games, he heard me talking about an incident from the game before and asked what happened. I told him, he listened, and then he gave me the best words of encouragement as if he had known me forever. It meant a lot to me. Prayers to you for comfort and peace during this difficult time.

  11. So sorry for your loss. My family and I enjoyed Gary’s company and pleasant nature at the baseball games
