He spent many hours restoring and tinkering with the antiques. He was a member of the Rock Prairie Church. Garry would often be found enjoying several sports games. He was Pacer fan and didn’t miss watching the Colts play on Sunday. His local Blue Devils entertained Garry many evenings and the Purdue athletics were also a favorite.

So sorry for your lose will keep you in our prayers
Prayers are with Micky. Garry was a good friend. He was kind and gentle. May he rest in peace.
My heart goes out to Mickey and family.
I went to school with their son, Richard as we were in the same graduating class of Tipton High School (1984). I also knew Garry and Mickie by going out for dinner at Jim Dandy on Senior Night (Tuesdays). We also played cards together with a group of friends on Friday nights, when Garry and Mickie weren’t attending a ballgame. The last time I seen Garry was on Tuesday evening, Oct. 24th, at Jim Dandy. I had no idea that that would be the last time we all would be together sharing dinner together. I also will never forget him helping me out, the first time I played “Kings Crown”, a card game with him and his wife, Marcia and D.J. and Gary and Vickie.
R.I.P. my friend. You will be greatly missed.
Great man. We will miss Garry so much. Love and prayers for Micky Scott Shelby Shaylee and the little girls.
So very sorry for your loss. He had such a gentle spirit. Will be missed. Prayers for all

Dear Mikey and family,
Please accept our condolences with the loss of Garry
A great sadness overtakes you when your husband, father-in-law, grandfather and great-grandfather are suddenly no longer there.
We wish you loving and comforting words.
Corrie and I remember Garry as a pleasant man who worked hard, was interested in someone else and cared for our daughter Barbra who lived with you for a year of study in the years 1996-1997.
We have always appreciated this care.

So sorry for your loss. Prayers🙏🙏
Mickey, I am very sorry for your loss and we will be praying for you. Garry was a great guy. Always friendly and nice regardless of what life had thrown at him. I know him mostly through his work at A. G. Tebbe Farms, but have known him less directly for much longer, mostly because of his brother Jerry and the family. He was a very good man and father. As I think about it, I could not really imagine the strength it takes to lose your children and maintain the positive attitude that he had. I would guess you have that same strength plus some grandchildren to think about. Mickey, I wish you the best and hope you can keep your spirits high despite your loss. You can be proud of your family and the love that they have given you. I wish you the best, – Steve Tebbe
So sorry Mickey. You gave been through too much grief. Praying for comfort for you.

Our deepest condolences, Mickey. Sending love and prayers.
