"Sorry for your loss."

"Greg I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers."

"I didn't really know Gary but I helped take care of both of his parents and came to love them both just like they were my own family. I will be praying for the family in this time of need."

"Judy, I learned of Garys passing when Pat & I went to see our new granddaughter when Amanda told us. Our hearts are with you and your family going thur these difficult times in life. God bless you all. Lipsey family"

"My thoughts and prayers go out to all the Hatley family members during this time of loss.
I consider it a blessing and a privilege to have been related to Gary and to have been able to visit with him from time to time through the years. Although life's commitments dictated that our visits were usually brief and sometimes many years apart, the time we spent together will always be cherished. I will always have fond memories of Gary's colorful stories and infectious laugh.
Gary was a good and kind person who will be missed by many and welcomed into Heaven by many more."

"I extend my most heart felt condolences to the Hatley family. I worked with Gary since 1988 and I'm saddened by his loss. My prayer is that God will comfort you and give you peace."

"We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts & prayers are with you."

"Sorry for your loses.

"To Gary's family, My thoughts and prayers are with you as the world has lost a wonderful person in Gary. He and I became friends when I worked a temporary FSA job in Little Rock several yrs. ago. Gary and I kept in touch after my job was over and I moved to my hometown of Rector in Clay county. Gary and I would get together for lunch when I would visit down in Little Rock and it always made me feel good to be around him, hear his laughter and share in those wonderful stories! Gary could make me laugh like no one else could. I know he is up in heaven telling those great stories right now... RIP, Gary, I will really miss you..."

"I am so sorry for the loss of your dear brother. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy. My prayers are with you at this difficult time."

"Our most heartfelt sympathy for the family....Mr. Gary was the sweetest, kindest and most caring person; a joy to be around.....He was the type of person who helped awake in others the need to spread love and care. He was a delight to work with, Mr. Gary will be greatly missed. His kindness was infectious, he made our life better knowing him. Mr. Gary rest in peace."

"My earliest memory of Gary was riding on the back of his bicycle. He was Judy's big brother and was sweet to her and her playmate friends Ann and Faye Bates. Because of Gary we were able to explore the railroad tracks and beyond. I was never afraid when Gary was with us. Not too many big brothers would hang with little sister and friends, but Gary did and that speaks volumes about the kind person he was. The Hatley family has always been so much fun and I pray you will continue to draw on all your great memories of your big brother Gary. I love you all."

"We will miss Gary so much! - Another soldier gone home!
May God be you'll -Miller County FSA-Texarkana"

"Judy Sipes and Family,
I am truly saddened to hear of your recent loss and would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family on the recent passing of your brother. I have always known you as a strong and calm person and I know at this moment of loss those qualities will be of immense help. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

"Our prayers are with his family. I enjoyed working with Gary for a number of years."

"Condolences to an old FmHA Employee."

"I miss my ole friend. I first met Gary in January 1954 when I transferred from Selma to Enon Schools. He has been a friend since then. Gary was a good man. My prayers are with all of you. God bless!"

"Kim I am thinking of you and your family and praying God give you comfort during this time. Love you, Tammy"

"Greg,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Peace of God be with you always."

"I had the opportunity to work with Gary several years during my employment with FSA. I have credited him many times in my career for his direction and teaching that has helped to make me the credit officer I am today. He helped me grow individually as well as professionally. I am sorry for your loss and my heart is sad to hear of his passing."

"Gary was my first supervisor at FSA. I learned a lot from him. I will miss his jokes, stories, & laughter. His presence at FSA will be missed dearly. May god be with the family at this time."

"Judy and the Hatley family, I am so very sorry to hear of Gary's passing. I remember him from several years back as we were growing up,as the sweet, very caring, quite,and funny friend. He was a special person and he will be greatly missed. I pray that GOD will give the family the good memories to remember and the strenght to carry on with his wishes. love you all."

"To the Hatley Family:

Gary was a great person to work with. He was always willing to take on the extra "dreaded" task, provide guidance to farmers and employees, generously participate in social events, and always have a funny story to share. His dedication to family, friends and job was immeasurable. He was always very kind to me. I will miss him."

"I WAS SO UPSET TO HEAR ABOUT GARY! I GOT TO WORK FOR HIM A FEW YEARS AND HE WAS A GREAT BOSS. HE WAS ALWAYS COMICAL. HE KEPT ME LAUGHING AND HE WAS ALSO A VERY SMART MAN! I HAD TO QUIT IN 2006 BECAUSE OF MY MS. HE WAS IN THE STATE OFFICE AT THAT TIME. EVERYTIME I HAD TO GO SEE MY MS DR IN LITTLE ROCK, ME AND MY SISTER WOULD MEET HIM FOR LUNCH. I ENJOYED VISITING WITH HIM. HE WAS STILL VERY COMICAL!!! I'M GOING TO MISS HIM DEARLY!"

"After his father (my father-in-law) passed away, Gary became the patriarch of our family. He was my husband's big brother and we looked to him for wisdom and guidance. Byron talked with his brother on a regular basis. Gary was my big brother too, especially after I lost my own big brother. Gary took on the weight of the responsibilities of the family after his mother passed away a year and half ago and it felt so good to have a big brother taking care of us. We now have to carry on and use his example and "step up to the plate". He will certainly be missed. One of the many things I love about the Hatley family is the family gatherings. There is always laughing, jokes, singing, eating (of course) and most of all love for our Heavenly Father. As we gather together during the next couple of days, all of those things will take place but there will be a hole in our heart and it won't be as loud because we won't have Gary's wonderful stories and laughter. Till we meet again Gary..........."

"Gary and I were fellow employees of the former FmHA and now FSA. Always enjoyed working with Gary and exchanging emails which we continued to do after my retirement. He will be missed."

"My thoughts and prayers are with Gary's family during this sad time. May God Bless each of you."

"Our Prayers are for Paul Gary Hatley and All his Family and friends. This is sad NEWS."

"Gary's passing has hurt all his friends at FSA. He will be greatly missed. Gary was an awesome person. He was one of the kindest men I have ever know. He tried to be gruff, but his goodness always shone through. He was a true gentlemen. He loved his family and his friends. He shared some memories of his childhood and some of his children and his grandchildren growing up. No one could tell a story like Gary. He told me that one time a horse ran away with him, said he was hanging on, pulling back on the reins and hollering. Said the Wal-Mart manager finally came out and unplugged the machine and saved him! As a horsewoman, I was falling for the story until he said the Wal Mart manager unplugged it. He sure got a kick out of that. My heart breaks for his family. I know your hearts are broken but I also know you have wonderful memories of your father and your grandfather. You know where he is. Our beloved Gary is looking into the face of our Beloved Jesus! May God comfort and strengthen you as only He can do."

"Deepest Sympathy to Gary's family. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand through your time of grief. May you always have loving good memories of Gary and remember he has made his transition to a better place for eternal life. He will be missed at the USDA Farm Service Agency.

"I will really miss Mr. Hatley. Such a wonderful man. He has always given me some kind of words & encouragements or if, it was a funny joke. You just had to give him that smile, because if you didn't he would come with another one that you couldn't or wouldn't forget. So I would like to say to the family just cherish those memories of a wonderful father, brother and grandfather. I will really miss him, too.

"My thoughts and prayers are with you all. We have many, very fond memories here in Phillips County from the time he spent here w us. And even after he left us, he was sure to call w a joke or just to see how we were all doing. He was truly a great man full of laughter and will be missed greatly."

"Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers throught this very difficult time.

"I have worked with Gary for a long time especially after his transfer to the Little Rock Office. I can still hear his chuckle/laugh and it brings a smile to my face. He will be missed, but he will now be with all of you always as you go through your life and sharing your special moments and definately when you need someone to lean on. May God Bless you and watch over you as you move on with him looking over your shoulders."

"JUDY, I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT GARY. MAY GOD WRAP HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND YOU ALL AT THIS TIME"

"I am so sorry to learn of Gary's passing. He and I have been sharing e-mail the last two years. We met for lunch several times and enjoyed talking about how we were raised. I know he is in a better place."

"We want to give our love and prayers to the Hatley family. I have been neighbors with the Hatley family just about all of my life. Gary was a little younger than myself but remember him well as neighbors and at Enon School.
As Gary wrote on my mother`s guest book, when we lost her, that it took a community back then to raise all of us kids. Everybody looked after each others children as we fished and swam in all the cow ponds any where in walking distance. So I grew up knowing Gary and Judy. Later years our daughter Rhonda married Gary`s brother Byron so we have had times to visit at family gatherings and we always enjoyed his wit and friendly smile. I admired his dedication to his mother after she became ill. The family and his many friends will miss him.
Anytime I met Gary he would say with a big smile, " well Kathy how are you these days"?

"I have wonderful memories of Gary that I will carry with me always. He was so much like Uncle RV with the way he always had a funny story to tell and the way he laughed. He will be so missed by our Hatley Family."

"Gary will be missed greatly by those he worked with and the countless farmers he has assisted over the years. He was dedicated and worked tireless hours to get the job accomplished. I have not only lost an employee and co-worker but a true friend. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time."

"Jeff, Kim and Chad,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. You all will be in my prayers. My deepest sympathies to you and your family."

"SO SORRY TO HEAR OF GARYS HOME GOING, HE WILL BE GREETED BY HIS WONDERFUL MOTHER, MAY GOD COMFORT THE FAMILY"

"He's not gone. He's just out of sight right now. We'll see him again and hear his funny stories and laugh. We cannot even imagine the joy and freedom he is enjoying in Heaven without pain, sadness, limitations of any kind because the one who "invented" joy is in charge."

"I will miss his hugs, his gift of gab, and his sense of humor and I am so thankful that he knew Jesus so that one day I can have all of those things in my life again--when we meet again one day in Heaven. What a blessing I had to have had him as my big brother. :-)"

"Byron, Rhonda & kids, you are in my thoughts and prayers."

"Dear Kids,
I know this is hard for you but he has had so many problems these last couple of years. I pray that he has already been held in our Lords hands and that he may rest in peace. I love you three and the rest of the family and know this is hard to take but you know he is in a better place.

Love,
Mom"
