My name is Tom Dee and I worked with Gary a number of years at the U.S. Postal Service distribution plant in Hampden Maine. Gary was a dedicated employee and worked very hard. He was there every night and was a wonderful person to work with. He never complained and was an inspiration with what he dealt with physically to get the job done. He enjoyed working and loved to laugh as we worked through the night. My condolences to Allison and the family. May Gary rest in peace and God bless you all.
Mr. Dee, thank you for your kind words and sharing your memories of Gary! He was indeed a very special man. He was an amazing husband, dad and grandfather, and will be greatly missed by us all!
