Gary Reed - Online Gedenkwebseite

I'll never forget the day I met Gary. I was interviewing with him for a job and he came around his desk and greeted me like we were life long buddies. And it stayed that way from that day on. I was away from home and out of vacation time when 911 happened and he made sure I knew I had nothing to worry about and to get back safely when I could.  He talked me down through the horror of those days like no one else could. 

Gary always remembered the details of little things I said about my kids or my life and even when we hadn't talked for a while would always ask about them and tease me as much as possible. I never left a conversation with Gary where I wasn't laughing with a big smile on my face. He had faith in me to do jobs I didn't think I could and helped me through several tight spots. He was someone to count on and I made sure he could count on me and never wanted to give him reason not to. He was my person to call with big decisions. We didn't talk much these past few years but just knowing he was there was a comfort. I'll miss Gary more than I can say and my prayers are with Micheal, his family and all those who love him and find themselves with a gapping hole in their life. I love you Gary Reed. Thank you for including me in the ride.

 Gary was my friend, co-worker, confidant, and my brother. It seems like we were great friends from the day we met. He treated everyone with respect and didn't have a bad word to say about anyone. Being close to him for 25 years, I saw how many lives this man has touched. he was the least selfish and most generous person I know. He gave a hand up to so many people.
I shared more laughs and good times with him than anyone that I have ever met. We were as close as two people can be. He knew me better than any person alive and I would always seek his advice before any major decision in my life.
Gary was phenomenal in his work life and also in his most important role as a husband, father and grandfather.  He was a trusted advisor to so many people.
i will miss my daily visits and telephone calls with Gary. I still find myself reaching for my phone to call him even now. Gary made a huge impact on my life and his passing has left a huge hole in my heart and my life. I will miss him deeply.
