    Sorry to hear about Gary's death. The Alvin Kasemodel family sends its condolences to all from our whole family. I remember spending summer vacation playing with him since he lived so close to Grandma and Grandpa Kasey. In later year I had the pleasure of living in Sioux Falls and ran in to Gray quite often while visiting Luverne. He would always stop and talk to me. Prayers will be with you all!

    I was shocked to hear about Gary he was a great guy. I will miss his smiles. I used to take care of him at Arbor Manor he would always make me smile, even if I was in a bad mood. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to the family. I think he is in a better place with no more pain.
