I worked on the Farms with Gary and his brother's and it was the best time of my life.
Gary was always nice, helpful and a hard worker as was all of the Adams. I'm so sorry you guys have lost a brother but he will always be with you in spirit and in memories. I miss the days on the farms. We bailed a ton of hay every summer and straw too. I had hay fever but I loved the work so much that I'd suffer through it just to be working alongside you guys and be on the farms. I have fond memories from those days. I wish you guys the best through this very hard time.

He is preceded in death by his parents; grandparents; sister-in-law, Pam; brothers-in-law, Thomas Thomsen, and Ronald Newton; and still born brother, Jeffrey Scott.
When I was a kid I lived at the “home farm” and worked and played alongside Gary. I learned a lot from him. He was always willing to help you with whatever you needed.
Gary was a wonderful friend to my mother. He took care of her farm and plowed her driveway after every snowstorm. He was a good farmer and a generous soul. I'm sorry he's gone.
Go in peace, faithful friend and farmer. You will be greatly missed. Dianne Stange Prichard
