Condolences
Missing you more and more every day daddy. Always wish I could just call you and ask how to cook something or call to talk to you about Alex. I know you would have loved him and he the same. Wish you could meet him, but I’m sure you played a part in us finding our way to each other. I love you and think about you everyday.
Thank you, Gary, for the cigar box at Knollwood. I never forgot your kindness!
I had the good fortune of growing up across the street from the Fuerst family. Ron and myself were the same age and I considered him to be the brother I never had. I can't even imagine what it feels like to lose both brothers at such a young age. Gary always had a smile on his face no matter the circumstances and was always willing to lend a hand to whoever needed it. Gary always had the coolest cars in his driveway at Shirley Parkway and I was waiting the day I could give up my bike and drive one. Gary will be missed as he went on to glory with his parents and brother. I have so many great memories of Gary and his family and have Ron in our thoughts and prayers as we grieve together.
I am so sad that my cousin Gary has passed. I remember so many fun times playing with him and Gordon in the house in Piscataway - he was always fun to be with, and had a great laugh! I am praying that he is having a peaceful time in Heaven.
Gary was a very generous soul. I have many great memories as a child of spending time with my cousin Gary, along of course with with Ron, and also Gordon. Many summer days were spent playing wiffle ball on the side yard at 432 Shirley Parkway. And in the winter it was football, and Gary took it easy on us. You can't bring back the old days, but they do live on in good memories.
Gary had a wonderful soul and I'm beyond blessed to have known him. He was the closest thing I've ever had to a second father and will always hold a special place in my heart. Sending you all my thoughts and love.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. With deepest sympathies, Ray
My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. His taking care of his mother during her time of need speaks volumes about the type of person he was. He will surely be missed.
Thoughts and prayers with all of you. Giant hugs and kisses Donna, Mitchell, and Lauren. I will forever cherish the memories of you Gary, grilling the ultimate feast at so many of our family gatherings. Until we meet again my friend....
So many good times with this guy. The awesome food and lots of laughs. Too sad. lots of love to all you guys.
We were so sad to hear the news about Gary's death. Our love and prayers to the entire family.
So unbelievably sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Gary. Memories from family gatherings will forever be remembered and my deepest heartfelt condolences to Aunt Donna, Mitchell and Lauren. You are loved by many! Looking at the pictures posted, I am just now finding out that you were Santa all those years ago at the family Christmas. I have no idea how it took me so long to realize. You must have been pretty convincing! LOL! Say hi to Grandpa Kenny for me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Since I am part of the extended Kenny family Gary had a special place in my heart. He always made everyone welcome and made sure everybody was happy. Gary is in s much better place I'm sure making the Angels laugh. Mitchell and Lauren can always be sure their dad is looking down on them and will always be in their heart. RIP Gary, your job was done here on earth now you have a job in heaven to send peace and comfort to those left behind.
My heart is so heavy with sadness. I will forever remember our family gatherings and Gary at the grill. How he delighted in watching the faces of everyone enjoying the culinary delights he would prepare. I will never forget you as our son..You left us too soon. Please give Dad Kenny a hug for me..I am sure you are already at the grill in heaven to the delight of everyone. I will miss you....Love, Mom Kenny
My sincere condolences to you all. I had the privilege of knowing Gary through our children. The Gary I will remember is the "larger than life" laugh and smile. He always had a smile on his face. May he be at peace. Donna, Mitchell and Lauren I love you and I hope and pray you always hold onto those special moments you shared with your dad. He is always with you. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. If you ever need anything please let me know. Love you.
So sad to hear of your passing Uncle Gary. So many memories made, you played a fabulous Santa each Christmas when we were little little. And grill master at family reunions. Thoughts and prayers to the kids, I know you'll always be watching over them.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Gary's passing. I have such great memories of our yearly vacations in the Outer Banks. Gary was the nicest guy and he always made me laugh. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all, Donna, Lauren, Mitchell,Ronald and family.
Gary was our neighbor in Blandon for 10 years. We were shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Donna, Mitchell and Lauren, please accept our deepest condolences. You are all in our thoughts. Kristopher and Vicki Kipp Blandon, Pa.
Please accept our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences on the loss of Gary. The Fuerst Family will be in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May God bless Gary and may he rest in peace.
So sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I worked with Gary for many years. He was always a fun guy.
Gary was a trusted and respected colleague whom I also considered a friend. I will miss the golf and the banter about the ACC, most of which he got the better of. I will miss him.
With very heavy heart I offer my condolences to all of you. Such a tremendous loss and so terribly sad. I have so many wonderful memories of Gary....he was an amazing man and a loving, vibrant, thoughtful, generous, fun, delightful person. He use to call me "sis" and it meant the world to me.you are all in my thoughts and will always be.
There is no doubt, Gary was the funniest in my crazy, small family growing up. Always quick with a joke, wisecrack or one liner, Gary was always looking to get people to laugh. Oh, and remember those one-iners? The good ones were repeated for years! Even though you heard it a 100 times, you just laughed anyway not even knowing why anymore. My best memories are those.....laughing so hard we cried!
I loved playing football and wiffel ball with Gary on the side of our house when i was probaly 8 or 9. He typcially would play on his knees as i tried to be that star running back trying to get by for the game winning TD. Most of the time i didn't make it (he was Varsity after all). But every now and again I would sneak by to score as he fell onto his back and looking back at me - always with a big smile on his face watching me dance in our sidewalk endzone. i knew he had let me slide by. That's when i knew we would be there for each other for life. You can learn so much from the little things, even when your not looking.
No doubt though, Gary and Gordon were blood brothers. Always competing when they were young, they truly fed off each other's success. When Gordon decided to follow Gary to VA Tech and transfer, Gordon even became a walk-on one spring just to be with Gary on the football field (and probably try and show his little brother he could still hang a bit too - not !). He then became Gary's biggest fan and supporter. They so enjoyed those years together...HOKIE NATION FOREVER!
When Gary hung up his cleats, he went and did what he loved best: making people smile. Gary could always cook, since he was probaby 15. When he grew out of using every pot in the kitchen (to my mothers chagrin), he went to running the whole show at all kinds of places; Intimate upscale restaurants like Greenstreets, to a ski resort bar& grill in Stowe, VT to overseeing 7 TGIF's in PA, He loved what he did.... people could see it and everyone loved working with Gary. I was always so impressed with that quality and what he had accomplished.
I was with him more the last several years - trying to help him through some of those challenges in life that can overcome any one of us who hit a few bumps in the road. I know it crushed him to not see his kids as much as he wanted to, he loved you guys so much. Through it all, though, he would still try and make me smile and laugh - only today, i am crying real tears as I lose my last brother at way too young an age.
Be at peace my brother - and give a bunch of hugs and kisses to our family clan when you see them - i know they will be waitng with open arms and smiles for you this time!
your baby bro, Ron
