How you can help
Thank you so much for everyone's support during this difficult time.
In lieu of flowers, we know that Gary (Papa), would be honored if you donated to cause(s) that were very close to his heart.
The first is the Humane Society, for his deep love of all creatures, great and small.
The second is the Arbor Day Foundation, for his extensive knowledge and affection for trees.
The mission of the Humane Society is not only to care for homeless animals, but also to serve the community through services including education, veterinary care, training classes, and family & pet-friendly community events.
The Arbor Day Foundation plants memorial trees in national forests, specifically in a forest that has been affected by wildfires or natural disasters, and they would provide a lasting, meaningful tribute. They plant one tree for every $2.00 donated.
Let us know where you would like your donation to go, and if you cannot donate anything at this time, please just spend an extra moment loving animals and appreciating nature in honor of Gary.
Thank you for being a part of his life! Contribute
