Gary was my Dad's (Armand Atkinson) favorite nephew. When Gary was little they would hunt and fish together. He was always proud of Gary's accomplishments. As a younger cousin I always looked up to him. We always had fun at family get togethers at our Grandparents home. You have my deepest sympathy.

When I think of Gary - I smile without even realizing what I'm doing. Believe that's a compliment to him. He was wild and crazy in high school and didn't change much over time.
Sympathy to his entire family,
