Our deepest sympathy to the Gardner family for your loss. I had the utmost respect for Mr Gardner as a child and even more as an adult. I was blessed for having you all as my neighbors and friends growing up. I’m sure you are comforted knowing he is reunited with his wife now.

"E Jack", as I came to know him as a Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster, was always smiling and a friendly face for everyone. His presence in the SL Scouting community will be greatly missed. You all have my deepest sympathy,
My deepest sympathies to Ed, Vicki, Nick, Mike and Chuck and all of this tremendous man's family. It was always a pleasure to be with him, as all of you know so well.
My memories go back to Little St. Mary’s (next door) watching the young family grow up. They were always helping at St. Mary’s. Loved seeing Jack in the parades in his scout uniform. Very friendly very loving. St Mary’s misses him and it isn’t the same without Jack In the front row
TO ALL OF THE GARDNER CHILDREN AND GRANDS,
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO ALL. YOU ARE ALL BEING LIFTED IN PRAYER.
WHAT FUN IT WAS TO HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH BOTH OF YOUR MOM AND DAD.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LOVE, FUN AND CATHOLIC VALUES THEY GAVE TO EACH OF YOU.ANGELS GUIDE JACK TO PARADISE.
SINCERELY,
THERESA FARNELLI
The tri-cities community and especially St Mary's Parish will never be the same without Mr. Gardner. Even for those who didn't know him well, he was a joy to be around and a warm and interesting character. His love for his wife, his children and for his God was always so evident. We will miss him. So sorry for your loss.
Jack was a special person who will be missed by all who knew him. To Vic and her brothers, take comfort that he’s reunited and dancing a never-ending polka with Gladys, the love of his life. He was a special person who took time to make a house all to cut my dad’s hair.

Mr Gardner was a true mentor for many; family, religion, hard work and sharing of his time. Hunting, scouting, music, golf, breakfasts and leading our local parades! My condolences to the entire Gardner family your Father was one of a kind!
My best,
