Sincere condolences to Gary's family and friends.
I tried to reach out recently to catch up with Gary, as we did throughout the years. Finding his obituary was a great shock for me. Seems he and I both had a bad time of it, health wise, and didn't want to burden friends with it.
I'm so disappointed we didn't get the chance to say so long, as it was never goodbye...
I will always keep him alive in my heart. Such a wonderful man.

I first met Gary at Somerville HS. We reconnected in the late 80's. I loved his joie de vivre, his adventurous nature, his sense of humor, and his big heart.
I believe a personality as large as his never really dies. He lives on in all the special memories he left behind.

We remember Gary from back in the late 50's and early 60's at the Day's Camps in Lanesville, Gloucester where we spent several summer vacations along with Gary and his older brother and sister, Steven and Linda Cormier.
Gary's grandparents Ted and Elsa Cormier were Somerville friends of our parents Elena and Jim Drury and all us kids enjoyed many fun times and hilarious adventures during our precious youthful years.
So many memories of cute little Gary and how Steven and Linda...
