    Joe Whiting… I’m your dads niece… I’m sorry we had to meet under these circumstances! My daddy is a wonderful man I’m sure you would have loved him… Our family is getting smaller and smaller but would love to get to know my cousin! I’m sorry about Uncle Jerry leaving I don’t know the details as to why family leaves Uncle Jerry and I use to be real close but that’s when I was little I barely know any of my dads family… If u have a Facebook you can look me up its Angela Marie…

    I didn’t get to know this man. But my father Jerry Whiting left when I was not even 1 so I didn’t get the chance to meet anyone from the whiting side of my family.

    Gary, anybody that knew you is going to miss you. You left a lasting impression on anybody you met. On the outside you were like this little bull dog that didn’t take crap from anyone, then on the inside you had a big heart and would go out of your way to help family and friends. Your passing will leave a ripple affect on many many lives. Gary I love you and will miss you, your big brother.
