To the Norby Family, So sorry to hear of Gary's passing. He was such a kind man. Enjoyed playing ball with his boys. We had so much fun when I guided him in Colorado for an Elk hunt. He had a million dollar smile! Blessings to all the family.

Dear Gwen and family: As I read through the condolences, I realized that there isn't anything that I could say that hasn't already been said. All of you know what a great guy Gary was, and how much he will be missed. What I would like to add is that what always impressed me was Gary's generosity. Whether it was buying candy to hand out to kids at a ball game, buying a beer for everybody within 10 feet of him at a party, or just the time that he so willingly gave to his friends, neighbors, and the community around him. It bring to mind a quote by Pete Seeger "Being generous of spirit is a wonderful way to live". Take Care

My heart goes out to my extended family, the Norbys. I know how much Gary meant to all of his family, his sons, his grandchildren, and the communities. I fondly remember his grip of steel from years working on the farm. Shows what kind of a great provider he was throughout the years. He will be missed.
