I met Gary at Rio Verde and always enjoyed his company both in golf and in passing...he really was a BIG Littleman and such a gentleman. May all of the good times created and left behind comfort all in the family and his close friends while you celebrate his life and beyond. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Grace and peace to you, Pat, as you mourn the loss of a very gentle and loving man. Be assured he is resting joyfully with his Lord and savior. His joy is greater, and more complete than when you and I witnessed Gary's "Hole in one" on 16 two years ago. Peace be with your family.

Oh I had the pleasure of golfing with Gary on a few occasions. Such a sweet kind man to everyone. We will miss him at Island View.
