Gary was such a kind and gentle soul. He was devoted to his father and the care he needed. Growing up with the all the Nickerson boys I will always remember the fun of kick the can, kick ball and having to be in when the street lights came on. Gary would chase around Freida and Ganda to give us back the can or ball. Often a dong bone would be offered in exchange for the ball. He is now with Marilyn and Velma whom he adored. Rest in peace Gary . Know you will be missed.
My condolences to the Nickerson family I am sorry to hear of Gary’s passing, I lived on Circuit Drive and remember him.
I, too, went to EP High with Gary. With my deepest sympathy and prayers for his family during this difficult time!
My condolences to Gary’s dear family. And many happy memories of him be with you all. But when sadness comes, may these promises from Jehovah God help you to endure. “Do not be anxious….but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7; Isaiah 25:8 NWT.
Sad to hear of Gary’s passing. He was a great neighbor and an amazing son and caregiver to Bob. Truly a loss.
I was so sad to learn of Gary’s passing. He was a wonderful person. Heaven gained an angel on Saturday. My sincere condolences to everyone in his family.
