Jeanette and Family:
I am shocked and saddened to learn of Gary's passing.

While he and I had not seen each other much in the last 55 years, I always remember what an impression he made on me the year we stayed in Crane Hall at Minot State (about 1964-65) He was a fun person to know and I could see he was driven to be a good person and successful business owner,as well as a contributor to his family and community. He met those expectations.

I last saw him in March 2013 when i went to see him in his office at the bank, to discuss my brothers accounts at the bank. He could not have been more gracious and sincere in helping me figure some things out.

And of course, I grieved with both of you during 9/11....and both of you handled it with dignity and generosity as you memorialized your lovely daughter Ann.

He has left us too soon, but cherish the memories.. 'Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened'....

Sincerely,

Bill

We were so sorry to learn about Gary's passing. For about 35 years Gary & I & our families shared a Thanksgiving meal together...whether it was in Minneapolis, Wisconsin or North Dakota. We always cherished this special time together. The Nelson family friendship has meant a lot to us and we will miss our dear friend. Our condolences to Jenette and family.

Our condolences to the Nelson family. Gary was a great friend and will be missed. I’ve talked to a couple of mutual friends about Gary’s passing and we end up laughing about the stories we have of our time with Gary, particularly on ski trips. He will be missed.

Gary was a good man. We skied together at Bottineau Winter Park while Annie's House was still under constructon and the adaptive ski program was just getting underway. Gary was also a good friend of Al Wolf who is a friend of mine and everyone. Gary will be missed.

I am truly saddened to hear of Gary’s passing. I met Gary early on in my career and he was without a doubt a tremendous man and banker. I have a number of great memories of Gary but my favorite was when he and I were visiting and he asked me to come up for the next examination and I was happy to honor his request. As you all know better than the rest of us he will truly be missed - those who knew him are better off for the honor of knowing him. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Jeanette, Gary was one of the most colorful and amazing individuals I have ever met. He was completely without pretense but excelled at everything he put his mind to—from business to sports to having fun. The many ways you both honored Ann’s memory in the years after 9/11 have touched us all. We’ll never see another like Gary. I feel lucky to have known him. Our deepest condolences to you all.

Our deepest condolences to Gary's family and friends.

Gary was a dear friend of ours and fellow PBIA instructor, along with a heartfelt supporter of our career work. When we did shows / teaching clinics at Minot State University, he would stop by to share valued game and life principles. We also worked with each other in Vegas with teaching programs and much more. He was always willing to help promote our sport, especially for our youth.

Gary's special spirit will remain a lasting memory in our hearts (and others), as he touched the lives of so many.

Peace and comfort... Tom and Marty Rossman
