Kelly, Brandon, and Dakota: Mike and I were so sad to hear about Goober. He was such a nice, and funny, guy. We remember what good neighbors you guys were. Brandon was heading off to West Point and Dakota was just a baby back at that time. Mike would run into Goober every so often and was really glad to get to talk with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you doing this time.

To all of the Sellers family, I was so sad to hear of the passing of Goober. I did not know Goober very well, but the few times I did have the pleasure to be around him, he was always very warm, gentle and of course funny. I'm sure my dad and he have already had a cup of coffee together and have hashed out life's problems. Goober had a impact on so many lives and will be missed by many. Till we meet again Goober , rest in peace with our heavenly father. P.S. Give my daddy a hug from me, cuz I know he was in line to greet you.

Kelly, mine and Bob's hearts ache for you. Aside from being the best mechanic ever, Gary was one of our favorite people - he had so many words of wisdom. It was such fun to laugh with him and share our stories. I'll never forget his kindness and comforting words when our Son, Matthew, died. I wish I had some magic words to give you comfort, Kelly. I know your heart is breaking. Bob and I will be praying for you and your family and keeping you in our thoughts. Much Love, Debbie and Bob Cauthen

Gary was a blessing to all that had the opportunity to know him. When I moved to Glynn County 25 years ago he became my mechanic, and instantly my friend. Through 5 driving age kids and many vehicles he and Kelly became family. Over that time I never put a child of mine in a vehicle that Goober didn't approve. I knew he was the type of guy that I could trust with my own kids' life. And over the years my boys would just go by the shop to hang out and talk with him ( or more accurately listen to him). I think y'all know what I mean!! It meant a lot to me as a father knowing that another grown man cared enough to spend time with my boys answering questions about trucks and life. Goober was truly one of God's masterpieces. I miss my friend dearly but know heaven just got even better now that Goober has arrived. May God strengthen the family during this time but I hope they take comfort by remembering the joy Goober brought to them and everyone he met.
