I was a classmate of Gary's at Slocum Truax High School. Saw him last at our 50th class reunion in 2002. My prayers are with the family.

I GUESS I CAN CALL YOU "MY BOSS" BECAUSE I WAS HIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOU. YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO FIRE ME, WAY BACK IN THE VERY BEGINNING OF 2015, BUT YOU ALLOWED ME TO STAY IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT TO THE VERY END.SO I GUESS I CAN SAY, "YOU WERE THE GREATEST BOSS I EVER HAD." I WILL MISS OUR PHYSICAL (AND) OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SESSIONS WE HAD TOGETHER. WE SOME HOME MANAGED TO FIND NEW WAYS, TO MAKE OUR SESSIONS FUN, EXCEPT WHEN WE TOSSED THE FOOTBALL AROUND AND YOU THREW IT SO HARD AT ME, THAT YOU ALMOST KNOCKED ME ON MY BUTT. YOU SHOWED ME NO MERCY, MY FRIEND. IT SADDENED ME WHEN OUR THERAPY SESSIONS TURNED INTO HOSPICE CARE. YOU WERE NO LONGER MY BOSS, FOR YOU BECAME MY ENDEARING FRIEND, MY BUDDY. I WILL MISS YOU DEEPLY, AND THE TIMES WE SHARED DEVOURING YOUR MILKY WAY BARS (AND)MUNCHING ON POPCORN TOGETHER. MOSTLY I WILL MISS YOUR DAILY PARTING WORDS TO ME, AS I WALKED OUT YOUR DOOR, "STAY SAFE OUT THERE." NOW MY DEAR BUDDY, I CAN SAY TO YOU, I WILL MISS YOU IN MY LIFE BUT NOW I SAY TO YOU, "YOU ARE NOW "SAFE" AND PEACEFUL WITHIN THE ARMS OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER." REST IN PEACE. FOR YOU TRULY DESERVE IT. YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART, AND ALWAYS WITHIN MY SOUL.
