He also leaves a special friend, Michael Yard and his wife Dianna of Bath, who knew him for many years and were devoted friends being with Gary every day during his battle with cancer and who deserve more than a special thank you and the gratitude of his family for their friendship, devotion and kindness to Gary. Gary was a very gentle, artistic man who also had a love of nature and the great outdoors, whom we will miss greatly. The family wishes to thank Doctor Carl DeMars for his guidance and kindness during this difficult time as well as the nurses and support staff of Mid Coast Health Center of Brunswick Maine Hospice for their care, service, and attention.
