We are praying for peace and comfort for Gary's family and friends

Gary was part of our family. He was a good man with a good heart, my kids and all the grandkids loved Coop. Rest in peace Bro!

So many fond memories of Gary, or Coop as we called him in school, from our OMCS school days but reconnecting with him at our get together last year was so memorable. I'll remember from our recent phone calls too the love he expressed for his family and friends and how much they meant to him. I found out and remembered how truly caring he was and I'll always be proud to call him my friend. Rest in Peace my friend.

Coop was a great neighbor, he will be greatly missed here.

Coop became part of the Wardwell family, thereby he was family to us too! He was a good man. May he find peace in his afterlife. He willl be missed!

I got to know Coop when we were neighbors. He was always willing to lend a hand if needed, and he kept an eye on things if I was away. Great guy with a kind heart. Sending condolences to all who knew him. RIP Coop!
