My sincere sympathy for your loss. Gary was a very fine man.
I worked with him for 30 years at Gateway FS. He worked hard at work and worked hard at the Monroe County Fair. The FFA 4-H Auction was my favorite part of the fair and Gary enjoyed it. He knew how to keep it rolling along. When he came into the office, he would show me pictures of each of his children and grandchildren. I always enjoyed seeing them and he enjoyed showing them.
Gary was a good man. I know you will miss him.
Sincerely,
Janice Wall
Ben and Lanie......What a great stand up guy your dad was. Rich and I always enjoyed seeing him and your mom when we worked the auctions together. Lots of laughs! We both miss them very much but it's time for him to rest in heaven with Faye..... sending prayers your way... Rich and Sharon
Gary always seemed to be on a mission of some kind, but kept his focus on taking care of his customers. More than once I rang up his cell in need of supplies and by the time I drove from Millstadt, they were sitting there waiting for me. What a stand up guy and a great supporter of the 4-H kids. I sold him numerous animals over the years at the annual fair auction. Even though he was representing Gateway, he took the time to be there,and for that I thank him. RIP Brad Schaller
