The last time I saw Gary was at Brian and Bridgette’s wedding. Every time I saw him, he was always smiling and having a good time. He’d always say to me, ‘well, there’s ol’ hardy Marty! Or, party Marty!’ :) Growing up in Miami and going to Brian’s house a lot, I heard Gary’s sense of humor often. He is the master at coming up with phrases you have never heard! :) He did a lot for so many people. Gary, you will be missed. Thank you for all of the great memories. Love and prayers to Gary’s family.
My sweet Uncle Gary.....I have so many great memories of time we spent together💗💗My only wish is that I could have seen you again before you left this earth💔I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! Love from your niece Lisa 'PoohBear' Daugherty Sanderson & family
Mr. Hodge cleaned my room at MHS many many times...I always appreciated the kindness and respect he displayed anytime/anywhere he was on the scene..whether for routine cleaning, or addressing something more "serious". Prayer for God's blessings of mercy and peace that passes all understanding for his family and friends... Sincerely, Paula Vanpool/MHS staff member 2007-20011
