Thanks Vickie for letting me know about Gary. I’m so sorry to hear this and often have memories of family that gives me great pleasure to remember. God bless all of you!
I am very saddened about Gary’s passing. Since we were close in age we did a lot of palling around especially during our youth and our days at SLU. Since being notified I have had a flood of great family memories some of which I hadn’t thought about until now. I’m praying for the family for your comfort. God bless you all. Dan
We will always have a chair for Gary for 4th of July fireworks and Halloween. Gary and Kathy are great neighbors. We will miss you our friend

I hope that all of you, his dear loved ones, take solace in how well you cared for and loved Gary for who he was. Now he may rest in peace and you can honor him with your memories. My prayers and love go out to all of you.
I want to express my condolences to the family of George (Gary) Kuennen. He was a fellow classmate at McBride High School, Class of ’62. Our paths only crossed a few times in those days. When George started coming to the McBride Class of ’62 monthly meetings at Sport’s Cafe in the past year or so, I enjoyed conversation with him and we became good friends. He will be sorely missed at those meetings. I extend my prayers to his family.
