Lori and family,
I was saddened to learn of your dads passing. I just found out today, and wanted to extend my condolenses. I remember your dad well, as My dad Chester Stephan worked for the ODOT for many many years, and Gary was a dear friend of his. Many a day I would go to meet dad after work , and arrive a tad early so would have a moment to chat with your father. He was a great guy, and I am certain he was a loving father as well, for he spoke highly of his children.
May God give you all the peace and comfort that only he can in your time of sorrow.
Your in my prayers,
Valerie Deaton
