Gary R. Colon

Gary, Steve and I went to the Sparks Nugget, on a Saturday morning, to place our bets on the Kentucky Derby. I had already decided which horse I wanted, but Gary tried to convince me that I should take a different horse. He spent 45 minutes with me, showing me the stats, and how to handicap horses. I wasn´t convinced and placed my bet on Alyshrba. I can´t remember the name of the horse that was favored, but he kiddingly harassed me all the way to The Masters lounge? Where there was a party...

We snuck away to the last night Henry Africa´s was open, in San Francisco... leaving my husband and my sister wondering where we ran off to! What a memory!

So many memories of Gary when we were in high school. Some printable and some not. Gary at one point owned a Datsun 280Z and I remember riding with him one night and I don't think I have ever gone so fast in a small sports car. He liked his cars. We had given Gary a nickname of Butch and he added the last name of renegade. Rest in peace Butch Renegade my friend you will be missed.

Growing up on Driscoll Drive in Reno , I have many fond memories of Gary and his family. One night Gary and my sister decided to " borrow" my car and go to the drive in, even though they both weren't old enough to drive. Unfortunately for them I heard the car and my dad caught them before they could drive away. They took off across the street, and didn't get caught. My sister got back in the house and I caught her sneaking in. I was the one to get in trouble because the keys were in the car;...

Loved his parents, Dick and Lavonne but never knew their children but sure he was a fine man following in father's footsteps.
