I decided to try something a little different. You
don't know me so to add some credibility to my
profile I asked a few of my friends to write an
introductory paragraph about me.
Reading these intro's felt a little like reading
my eulogy. I am greatful to my friends for their
kind words.
***********************
I'm privileged to introduce you to my good friend
Gary. Gary is a man for all seasons; he's
talented, whole-hearted, and fun. He can cook a
gourmet meal for a hundred people, then can turn
around and dance (or hug) you off your feet, and
if the evening ends with someone needing a heart
to heart talk or a blessing, he's there, he's
solidly worthly, and he's mentally centered. Gary
has a loving heart and a generous spirit, he's
never met a stranger; he's like the
"Cheers" for Seattle Single Adults,
somebody who knows your name, somebody who cares.
What a blessing for us. Gary is so diverse and
steady; he attends the temple, is the leader of a
popular hiking group, gives service (such as
moving people), and has an open Family Home
Evening group...EVERY week, year after year. He
stays fit and active. Gary is a wonderful mix in
contrasts, he's all man and a real handful who'll
keep you laughing and coming back for more. Gary
is a man with high LDS standards, who balances it
with humor, a naughty streak, and a strong sense
of self. I just love you, Gary!
"Trisha"
Soup's a guy who doesn't let anything get in his
way....I think they call that perseverance. He's
always been in leadership positions because of his
depth of character. He's loyal and faithful to the
church and to his friends.

Hi, I’m “Malora” and I’m delighted to
write a few words about Gary (aka
“Souperman”). Gary was the Regional Singles
Rep. here in the Seattle area before I moved out
here 3 years ago. I remember talking to him on the
phone before I moved out even, and how friendly
and welcoming he was. That is his genuine nature,
and he continues to be a “people person” who
makes others feel really welcome by ushering them
into the group. He has a very warm and caring
nature, and has an optimistic outlook on life
(<NOT a whiner – yea!). I know that he is
devoted to our faith, and it shows in how he
lives. He is an outdoors guy who often plans and
leads outdoors hikes for the Singles group, and
has a better sense of direction than most of us!
He’s a great cook, a good dancer and is very
sociable. Gary is a gentleman when it comes to
female relationships, and is not a fair-weather
friend. I often think that when you get to know a
man in a non-romantic relationship then you can
begin to see his true personality. Gary is a loyal
friend with good solid church values, and a
generous and tender heart. Oh, but he sure does
have a cute smile, warm heart, and cuddly hugs!
"Malora"
I’m not going to lie to you, I consider Gary one
of my two current best of friends. Gary is not
perfect and face it who is? The good thing is you
will not find many who can surpass his willingness
to serve the Lord and his dedication to fulfilling
the measure of his callings. He is straightforward
and confident and a very social person who is not
afraid to be forward and involved in many
activities. He is every thing from a true friend
to a worthy companion. Sometimes if you ask Gary
what his favorite things to do or an opinion it
can be like asking a politician for their point of
view with no holds barred. He hikes, cooks and
dances a lot. His skills are tremendous; I keep
telling him he could become rich just by marketing
his soups. Thus his nickname is “SouperMan”.
He frequently works with all the large local
activities and assists in the meals. The first
year I spent as a single following my divorce I
took Gary around to dances every weekend. He can
dance very well and makes it very fun for his
partners. On the darker side Gary hates being
alone. Gary is having problems finding the right
woman an in his life. He has been single for too
long and really wants to change that situation.

I've known Souperman for many, many years. He's a
great person - he's very respectful, diligent and
responsible. He honors his priesthood and is
always wiling to serve. He organizes many of the
single's events around here. He's down to earth -
never to anger - ever. He has a positive attitude
and enjoys people and trying new things. And
oh-yeah - he's a great cook, back-rubber, good
dancer and keeps a tidy house:).
Margaret
If you are attending a single adult activity and
begin to smell something delectable, just follow
your nose in the general direction of the kitchen
and you will often find Gary cooking up something
special. Besides cooking up good food, he has
often been in the center of cooking up good
activities. Many an activity has been a smashing
success because of his dedication in planning and
promoting. And for a good twirl on the dance
floor, his waltz, swing or chacha is the best. He
can be a flirt or a good friend or a teddy bear to
hug. He is faithful and solid in the gospel - an
overall great guy!

It's nice to have good friends. The Lord has truly
blessed me in that department. Thanks guys!
So now you know a little about me so I should
probably tell you what I am looking for. A
wonderful woman I can take to the temple and be
sealed to. It's time for me to stop searching and
start finding.
If you are an outgoing, confident and friendly
woman who loves to laugh and aren't affraid to
share your feelings and ask for what you want;
you've got my attention. If you know how to flirt,
play, and have fun; I'm getting more interested.
If you also have a strong testimony of the Gospel
and love the Lord, We need to meet!
