You couldn’t find better neighbors than Gary and Sue! Gary always had time to talk with me whenever I was outside or wave to me across the street. Sue I pray for God’s comforting arms to surround you and your family! So sorry for your loss!

I spent many summer days & nights at the Kornoely home, hanging out with Matt or going to the movies. I even went fishing with Gary and the kids a few times. Gary was always willing to share his outdoorsman knowledge, experience and his home with his kids' friends. Grateful I got to spend time at your house during my SJV years.

Partridge hunting, duck hunting, deer hunting, fly fishing, it didn't matter what outdoor adventure I was on I'd always end up using a Gary-ism. I'll certainly miss you my friend and cousin. Where you're going I'll bet they have a wonderful wood shop.
