After taking early retirement, Gary liked helping friends

growing plants and wildflowers.

his children, Rachel and Jacob, and his four brothers, Mark, Jeff, Paul (Kim),
and Mike. He was predeceased by his

fascination with the beauty of the Franklinia, also known as the Franklin
Tree.

planted and nurtured as a living memory of Gary and his love of nature. A GoFundMe page
has been established for donations to the Franklin Tree Fund. Or if you wish, you can send flowers to the

So sorry to hear this Paul!
Paul, my condolences to you and your family. It's so hard to lose a sibling. I feel my sister's presence so strongly at times, it's hard to believe she's not here anymore. I hope you feel his love, too. Take care of yourself!
