Gary always had a wide smile for me when I visited him in his store. I considered him a friend, a fine gentleman, and a good businessman.
He has left us far too soon, and he is missed by many.

Living in this community for the past 25 years, I came to know Gary as an extremely honest and caring businessman. During this time, I have purchased all my appliances from his store, because the service and support was second to none....there was simply no point in looking elsewhere.
Gary's passing leaves a deep hole in the Waterford community - he will be missed.
Sincere condolences to Gary's family.

This is indeed a very sad day. Gary was one of the nicest people I have ever known..... and was my absolute favorite cousin. He was always hanging around with my brother and sister when I was very young... and it was always great to see him on our front porch.
We had some great times at Waterford Bluegrass and playing hockey together for a short time. It was always fun to drop into the hardware store and chin wag.
To Sharon and kids,,,, I am so sorry for your loss, May he rest in peace.

Dear Sharon and family
Words can not express our sadness in the huge loss of Gary. Comfort in knowing he is with the Lord he loves so deeply. Gary loved life and Gods mission here on earth was for him to love and care for his precious family, his community and his church. A man full of zeal for life that reflected his heart for his Lord.
He left a legacy of friendship we will treasure forever.
Our hearts and prayers are with you Sharon and family.

Sharon. I cant imagine what you are going through today. Gary was a great father businessman and husband. He is what we all aspire to become. His dedication to his community was unparalleled. I truly enjoyed buying anything I could from him. His love for Waterford showed everywhere. He was a great ambassador for the town. Waterford is now a little colder a little sadder but his efforts will live on. His steaks were fantastic. May you cherish the memories you and the kids had with him. Take care Brian Lamb
