Post by: Regalblue on May 26, 2017, 02:07:52 PM
 It's with a heavy heart that I post this...  Gary Damm had a heart attack today & didn't make it.   This is a HUGE loss for anybody that knew him.

Truly one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to call a friend.  :'( :'( :'(
I feel like someone kicked me right in the gut.

Not sure if I knew or meet him because I sometimes only know people by their screen names, but I'm very sorry to hear it.

I just touched base with Gary's niece Kristin and she will let me know funeral details and I'll share with everyone.

Saw the obituary for Gary on facebook this morning. Saw his picture, I know I have for sure seen him at functions in the past he looked really familiar. 57 yrs old what a shame that is way too young to leave this world. Sounds like he was one heck of a family man and good person. My prayers go out to his family in hopes they find comfort in each other during this.

Actually he was 61 but even THAT is way too young.

This is very sad news indeed. My condolences to his friends and family. 

Gary was always one of the most friendly and helpful people I've met among the time I've been participating in events of the various fish clubs around this area. His presence will be missed and to me will leave a void not easily filled.
