My brother is never forgotten. His smile, his take for life and laughter, he would love to sit at the kitchen table with Dad (former DC with St. Pete Fire Dept), talking about who is still around working on the Dept. Dad always enjoyed Gary visiting and staying all he could.
I remember one accounting, of sneeking into the grapefruit tree while Gary and Dad were on the opposite side of the tree. Having successfully snuck inside the perimeter of the tree and climbed a limb, I vigorously shook the limbs....
Gary pronounced " Whatever that is, it sure is mad?!"
This is my dearest memory of his presence was that moment, how tender hearted a man could ever be known to be.
I also received the most rewarding thoughts from him as he was alive to meet and get to know my soon to be wife, Belinda.
I love you, Gary. I'll hang out withya again.
Your baby brother, Rick

I was Gary Father's District Chief
Driver on the St. Petersburg Fire Department.
I knew Gary as He was growing up and later a member of the Fire Department.
Gary was a Son, Husband, Father, and Firefighter that was a credit to His Family, Friends, and Career.
God Bless and watch over Gary and His Family.
