I am saddened by your loss and a friend of my childhood. I have found memories of Gary ,as we grow up together on the south side of SA. (Westfall and Piedmont.). and the times we spent at the Boys Club,at my house , at his house and with all the other guys in the neighborhood.
With sympathy and God bless.
