Esterly, stepdaughter Misty Sprowls Martin, brother Bruce Carpenter, Grandfather James W. Henderson (Hipshot) Grandmother Mildred Henderson & sister-in-law Cathy Carpenter.

Gary wanted to be remembered with a Big Party for his Celebration of Life. He wanted to be cremated and during the party he instructed in his own words to have his ashes put in the wind so he can come back and haunt his family and friends.

So, it is being arranged for some time in July so family and friends could come if they want.   Going to try to have it around Gary's birthday. Will let everyone know when the details are arranged.
