My heart is sad. Gary was a wonderful person. He and Brent went to school IC through Helias together. I think they enjoyed the Construction Trades class at JC. Gary was so sweet, friendly and polite everytime I saw him. I pray your family will find peace and healing in God’s love. With sympathy, Gloria, Bob Phelps and family

He was a good all around guy. When he worked a Sears he always had a welcoming smile we would converse of past and present times. God Bless.
Gary was so very kind to everyone. He was so great to work with and fun to be around. He will be missed. My deepest condolences to Betty, Steve, kid and the whole Bernskoetter family.
Gary was a student of mine back in the seventies at Immaculate Conception. Quiet and reserved but always respectful with a smile on his face, and very easy to talk to. In the years ahead I ran into Gary at Gerbes from time to time, and he was always polite and willing to carry on a conversation. My condolences and prayers for Gary and for his son and siblings. God’s blessings to all.
For Betty and the Bernskoetter family. Bob and I are so sorry for the loss of Gary. You will be in our prayers.
