I have many fond memories of working with Gary at Kandu over the years. We celebrated the same birthday. We were both happy to see each other when he came to Preferred as well. Gary was always happy and yes a hard worker. I'm glad I had the privilege of knowing him!
Elaine and family - We are so very sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I had the privilege of meeting him, and hearing many awesome stories from Elaine. What a great guy!! Elaine - what you did for him from afar is beyond outstanding. Sending prayers and hugs and deep sympathy. Love, Jean, Mike, Zak, Sammie and Adam
I have had the pleasure in taking care of Gary while he lived in our facility. Gary and I had a special bond and I will never forget it. He lit my world up everyday when I would come to work! We always shared snickers together and told each other we loved each other! He had/has a special place in my heart and I will never forget him. Fly high buddy! I will miss your smile every time I would walk into your room 💜Love, Whitney.
I worked at Muskegon General Hospital in Peds and remember Gary well! He was always friendly, kind and happy and occasionally would share one of his antics with us!! A sweet soul.

Gary greeted everyone with a generous smile and a twinkle in his eye. He brought joy wherever he went. It was a privilege to know him these last few years. He is missed. Sending peace and comfort to his family - those related by blood and those related through friendship. All my love - Sarah Milanowski
It was always a pleasure having Gary at the LiveCircles day center. He always had a smile to greet everyone with and was very kind. Even though he was soft spoken, his love and kindness towards all around him was plangent and something to look forward to. Gary will be missed by many at LifeCircles! Condolences to the family.
Gary Stano lived in my AFC home for about 7 years. We always found funny, very nice, soft voice and always smiling face. Lydia and I lived him a lot. We were very sad to hear his early demise. He will be missed by the Roys family in Holland, Michigan.

The few times we saw Gary, he always had a smile and was so happy to be with family and especially with Elaine and Jim. May he Rest In Peace. Our Deepest Sympathies to his family
Remember going to summer fest with Gary & Elaine. Out to eat with them at a restaurant by Sendiks that no longer exists. We had a good time & he was always fun & smiling. He was so lucky to have Elaine. She was a great sister to him. He is truly missed!!
