I've taken some time before posting anything as I had so many thoughts running around my head. Gary is my husband's first cousin. He and Kathy are very special to us. Very caring and truly genuine family. I'll never forget them coming to see us and meet our newborn twins just over 24 years ago. They truly made me feel special and loved from that day forward. Gary will be deeply missed. Love, Lisa Swartout

I worked with Mr. Gary so many years and had the great pleasure to make sales calls with him. Gary was a great man. My deepest sympathies for his family.
Our deepest sympathies go out to Kathy and sons. Gary was a lifelong friend.
Calling you always was the best. Never realized how much you were like my Dad until after he passed! Will miss you always,you are my favorite Uncle and always will be! Rest in piece.Love, Cindy .Jim Hreha
I remember Uncle Gary as always willing to listen and always ready to help. During my dads illness him and Aunt Kathy were a big help . I'm going to miss him! From his niece Cristy Swartout/ Buterbaugh
Gary was so wonderful to take time to go out for lunch with us as he traveled in the South, near us here in Lake Worth, Florida.
We also so appreciate the Swartout family tree genealogy chart that he and Kathy gave us.
“Salt of the earth “ would sum up Gary for us. May he reset in peace.
Love and prayers to you, Kathy, and your entire family.
Blessings,
Judy & Ron Swartout & Family
I worked with, and traveled with Gary for more than 30 years and there was never a bad minute. Rest in peace.
Hello family and friends of Mr.Gary,
My name is Hugo Salazar and I would like to share some words in honor of Mr.Gary. My wife, children and I were blessed to have met Mr.Gary and Mrs.Kathy during their time in Tucson, Arizona. To me, he was like an angel sent from God. His passing brings great sadness to me but I find comfort in knowing that Mr.Gary was able to accomplish many great things during his time on this earth and was a blessing to everyone he came across. I know he left this earth content with the life he lived. I personally looked up to Mr.Gary as a role model because of his optimistic attitude and work ethic. During his time in Arizona, he noticed my potential and encouraged me to become my own boss and start my own business. If it hadn’t been for Mr.Gary believing in me I’m not sure if I would’ve ever took the risk of going on my own. He will be in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives as he and Mrs.Kathy blessed not only me but my family with their presence and love. We will continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers, we hope that as the days go by we can all find comfort in the beautiful and fun memories Mr.Gary left us with and feel a little more at peace. ❤️
Respectfully,
Hugo Salazar
