Gary and I worked together
Gary and I worked together years ago.I hope that he thought of me as his friend, for I will always think of him as mine. We shared many a hilarious day when we worked at the Kelton Spawn Plant (along with his cousin Joey Hayworth) and others. There was never any room for anything but fun and laughter with Gary around. He could always put a smile on your face with his crazy antics. Gary and I share the same birthdate. We were even born in the same hospital(Coatesville).I used to always tease him about me being older than him because I was born at 9AM on that day and he was born at 3PM. I called Gary for years to wish him Happy Birthday, but lost touch. It would have been nice to reminisce again about the fun times we all had together. Him and that crazy black beetle bug that he always tried to take sideways over the dirt pile in the back of the Spawn Plant. Said he was working at it a little bit every day until he knocked it all down. So typical of Gary. He was a riot!Gary, you will be missed by all who ever knew you and realized what a special person that you always were. My sincerest sympathy goes out to his family and loved ones. Kathy
Terribly saddened
John and I are so saddened by the loss of one of his dearest friends. There are few who compare to the caring and kindness Gary had shown us over the last 12 years and much longer for John since they were best budds since they were children. He will be terribly missed. Our heart goes out to Darlene.

Gary was one of THE BEST things that ever happened to our farm. He was our helper, our advisor, our teacher, our friend...our brother. Words can not express the loss we feel, and we share Darlene's sadness, her grief, and of course her laughter as we recall the memories and the antics of our Gary. With love to his family.

Dear Gary, My favorite and most fond memories are of Holiday meals. We would all get together and have a great time!Ted and mom would cook all that great grub!Randy,Carol and the kid's would come over. We had such great holidays together. I can remember when you would go fishing at the pond on Riggles farm.You always brought some fish home!When it would snow in the winter and you would go out on your snowmobile.In the Spring time when you would get the garden planted.You always had a green thumb!!!!!You will be dearly missed and forever remembered. We didn't stay in touch as much as we should have.That's kinda how it was when Ted passed away. It was like we all passed with her.I missed our family times together.I know mom is grieving deeply inside.She loved you dearly.You were her brother and friend.She has missed having you in her life.

I want to thank all of you for your kind and heartfelt condolences and sharing memories of Gary. He gave me the best 22 years of my life and I miss him more than anyone could possibly know. Hw was truly the love of my life and I fell blessed to have had that time with him. Please remember him with joy and laughter as that was what he would have wanted.
