It was a pleasure to know Gary when I worked at the Mannington Pantry store, and to see the way he gave his all to a job, whether he was working at the Rescue squad or playing Santa Claus in a Christmas parade. He was a fine person and Mannington will miss him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Marion County Senior Citizens.
