I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Gary about Old Florida, pioneer times and his love, Ellie. True gentleman and fun and gracious people are a rare enjoyment. I wish his memory lives in a joyous place in the heart of his family and friends. Bless you and God speed.

Gary, Walter and Terry at hunting camp.
