I still can't believe. I miss him so much.
Gary was always a lively and fun-loving member if the Decatur CAT Accounting Dept. Ernie always had a funny Gary Ransdell story to share. Most of that group is gone now….Skip Ziegler, Mark Ames, Ernie Koshinski, and now Gary. No doubt they are still joking and laughing as they welcome him in. We visited with him at Markâ??s wake and he came to Ernieâ??s visitation as well. He was always there for his old CAT comrades. Sorry for your loss. He will be missed.Cindy Koshinski
To Gary's Family,I met Gary at Caterpillar where I worked with him in accounting. He was a character. I was reprimanded by supervisors more than once for laughing–having too much fun at work because of Gary's antics! Gary was a practical joker which didn't help me contain my laughter. I recall saying something I needed to do and Gary stapled multiple post it notes to my purse strap to remind me of my errands! Family and Friends will miss Gary and his laughter. Remember only the fond memories. Hugs to all,Bev Stenger

What a great guy Gary was! I always enjoyed seeing him at the Celebration and the summer blues concerts in Central Park. He was a fine basketball official as he officiated several of our games at Macon back in the day. My condolences go to his wife and family. He will be missed by many.
