Many fond Memories of Gary and His Family growing up. He is no longer in the pain He had to endure. He is with God.

N Nancy and Ronald Blood on Nov 8, 2012

Dear Members of the Mervyn Family,
Please know that many caring thoughts are with you at this very sad time. We were very sorry to learn that Gary was a prisoner during the Viet Nam War. His service to our country is deeply appreciated. We will remember him in our prayers.
