Gary P. Gates

I purposely waited until August 16th to make an entry in this guestbook. Thought it was kind of fitting since today is the 33nd anniversary of Elvis's Death. There are so many parallels between The Baron and Elvis: Looks, Charm, Talent, Generosity and Last but not Least-Both taken from us way too soon. May you rest in peace Baron, we will Miss You. Have The King sing his version of "My Way" for you! Til we meet you again...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Baron,

You are the one person I've known that could sell a pair of shoes to a man with no legs, over charge him and have him say thank you.... May your smile and possitive, joyful personality be remembered by all. You brought Joy and Laughter you many over the years...
Hope the people up there where you are going left their wallets at home !!!!!!!!!

Rest in peace my friend..

Having been at Gates GMC Nissan for almost 5 years, I had the honor to meet "The Baron" less than a handful of times. In an industry where you meet a number of people on a daily basis, few actually make a true impression on us. For me, The Baron stood out from the crowd just by the nature of his smile. I can vividly see it to this day. It was the smile of a gentleman with a hint of the presence of a "Cheshire Cat Grin", if he was not up to something at the time, you could bet he was going...

One of my fondest memories as a child growing up was going with Uncle Gary, Aunt Marie and my cousins to Wright's Chicken Farm. He was always the life of the party. We will miss you Uncle Gary. May you rest in peace now.
