Donna Heedum wrote a sympathy message

“We are saddened at Gary's passing. We spent many weekends together, hunting and fishing when we were kids. We also spent most Holidays together. Went to Minnesota multiple times where Roger still has a place. Gary presided over my father's funeral. He was very compassionate and made the day easier for all of us. It is times like this that we wish that we had spent more time in touch and not just a Christmas card. Rest in Peace Gary So sorry for your loss. Janis Linda and the girls Ken and Donna”
