Isabella Hale wrote a sympathy message

“Yes. Gary had a large and loving family. He was predeceased by his sister HELEN Chandler. in the last three years: I remember because I sent him a food basket. I knew of his mother and father. Before he died. we went to Mt Comfort and he said he wanted to be buried, (yes I think he knew because he was so sick by then) near his mother and Angie. I remembered Helen but never met his mother and father. MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY. I am keeping all in MY PRAYERS.”
