June 14, 1961 - July 4, 2008
passed from this life peacefully at his home in Concord on July 4 due to colon cancer. Gary was able to say farewell to his mother, sister and nephew before his leave-taking. His partner Fred was by his side at his passing and is thankful for the 15 years of companionship and happiness they were able to share together.
There will be a scattering of the ashes on August 9 at a time and place to be determined.
Gary, we miss your warm presence, your quiet smile and strength and your grace of character. Love from Fred and all your many friends and family. A celebration of his life will occur on Sept. 6 in Walnut Creek at the home of Pat and Orwin Dow. Please call 576-4154 for details.
