I was very sad to hear of Gary’s passing. I only got to meet Gary a few times but so happy I did. Sharon was a wonderful person and that is how I met him ❤ I would like to give my condolence to Sharon and Gary’s Family. I will be thinking of you all next Thursday ❤

As Gail commented I also only met Gary a few times usually on a double date
With Gail and myself accompanying Sharon and Gary
And found him to be a wonderful guy who made Sharon’s life complete
I’m sure he will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him
Especially Sharon and his family
I’m so sorry that I unfortunately cannot attend next Thursday
But be assured that I will be thinking of him
And my sincere condolences at this very sad time

Sincere sympathy to Sharon and the Fancett Families. It was our pleasure to be in Gary’s company at Fran & Mark’s. It is so sad that Gary & Sharon didn’t have many, many years together! Rest in peace, Gary!
