Wish I was there to participate in the ‘Celebration’ of Dad’s Life! He was such a warm and loving Father. His presence and sense of humor will be missed.
Love, Syvian
Giering Family,
I was saddened to hear of the loss of Gary. It was my pleasure to have worked for Gary on two different occasions while employed by RCA/Burle Industries. Gary was instrumental in advancing my career in many ways. I can honestly say that he was the primary reason that I was able to complete my 36 years with the companies. He truly was an inspiration to me.
I was always aware of his love and dedication for his family.
Sincerely,
Don Young
To Chris,
