My deepest sympathy to Ashley and Gary's entire family. Gary was truly one of the nicest human beings I have ever known. He always had a smile on his face and had such a kind soul. Rest in peace my dear friend.

I knew Gary and the family back in the 1960's, 1970's, and early 1980's as neighbors and friends.

You was such a dear cousin, more like a baby brother since I had only had one. I will miss the many talks we had about everything and everyone. And Ashley hang on to your dad’s memories, because he loved you so much. He would say, “ this is Aunt Georgie’s grandbaby because you favored her do much.” Sleep on until paradise and we will see one another again. Stay strong family.
