Mister Gary, you will be missed
along with all your expertise
Your adept foot to pedal skills
and your skillful digits on the keys
Picking the hymns that are apropos
for any given weekly Mass
and just the right ones needed
to embolden any holiday to be
Your skill of adding voice to pipes
that don't seem to have the same refrains
though they're played like other hymns
some how it doesn't feel the same
And I'll miss your meet and greet
will miss the smile on your face
though you won't be here to play
I'm sure some how you'll miss this place
Well now I hope you enjoy the calm
and fill your day with pleasant things
now to spend each day anew
with the good that God will bring
So I'll end this note to you
and hope you hardly feel the pain
of not being here as oft
until we see you here again
