    I have known Gary as Bobble’s husband since they married. Bobbie grew up about one block from where my family lived. They were such a wonderful couple who together carried the Yoke of marriage together. Both of their children were treasure both for Bobbie and Gary but for all the knew. The coming of grandchildren and a great grand child gave Gary joy that just is not measurable.
    My heart and prayers go out to their children Gary and Melissa plus their children plus Tammie Wellman and her significant other for the past many years, Kelvis Nutt.
    May all the family find peace in knowing that their parents are together again never to be separated again.
