I've known Gary for over 40 years.. Although we lost touch from time to time, we always had a close bond.. I talked to Gary last winter and was planning a trip to see him this summer, but had to have eye surgery on both eyes.. Gary & I loved to sit down with our guitars and play music.. This picture is from when I came to Casey to see him.. He was a marvelous musician and a good person.. RIP my dear friend and tell Pop hello for me in Heaven

Gary was such a blessing to our family in so many ways (spending an evening together when he played music for us, teaching many of our children piano and guitar, learning history and talking about the Scriptures). In 2014 he surprised all of us by driving out to Jeremiah and Sarah's wedding - what a wonderful surprise! We only wish we knew he was coming because we would have wanted him to stay with us while he was here. We will miss him.
