Gary was a good guy that would do anything for you--
( except help me with my golf swing--- he said it was impossible). He will be missed but not forgotten!
Prayers are with his family.

It is hard to believe that someone so full of life is no longer with us. Gary and I grew up together on Fairview St. an became neighbors again in our young adulthood. He was very good friend to me and I have thought of him so often over the years. I will pray for the family and his children in this sad time.

Words can bring no comfort in this time of loss and fill the void that you are feeling in your heart. That I am only too familiar with, but know that I am thinking of all of you during this sad time and my heart and thoughts are with you.
