Denise,Talya and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Gary’s passing. We all loved Gary so much! Greg and I always loved coming down as kids, with Mom and Dad. I remember vividly going to Silver Dollar City,Branson, the St. Louis Arch, and seeing aliens the movie and so many more memories.
It give me great comfort knowing that Gary and my Dad (Dave) are together again in heaven. 💙
With love,
Jenna, Mitch, and Joanna Dietze
Denise and family,
My condolences to Denise, Talya and Gary’s brothers. Dave and Gary were friends for over 50 years, and a loyal friend he was!! He was Dave’s friend up until Dave passed March 7th. The four of us shared so many momentous occasions together! We had a lot of fun, laughter and a few tears together.A year never went by that we didn’t see each other, although they lived in St. Louis and us Chicago. Gary and Denise almost convinced us to become Cardinal fans. Gary loved St.Louis and all the things it had to offer, which we were able to experience with them. I will forever cherish our friendship. Now ironically Dave and Gary are in heaven talking about the good times , and the love of their life’s Denise and Joey.We will see you again and behave yourselves!
Love,Joanne
Denise and Family,
I’m so sorry for the loss of Gary. I always looked forward to our poker night and the stories Gary would tell. He was a very genuine man and will be missed by so many. Prayers to you and your family. ❤️
