Susan, my deepest condolences for the loss of Gary. He was a great man who did so much for the music scene in Houston and specifically for new monsoon. When I first came to Houston he made us feel welcome and at home.

Gary was one of a kind. In fact, my favorite kind :-) His premature passing leaves a huge hole in my life, and that of all the others who were fortunate enough to be touched by his love for live music and his gentle nature. I'm blessed to have been his partner in bringing the music he loved to Houston, to have traveled the country with him and to have been witness to his wedding to Susan in Las Vegas--he actually won the jackpot twice that night--marrying Susan and a major slot machine...

With a heart of gold, an ear for great music, and the ability to make lifelong friendships with anyone who met him, Gary was a true mensch and I will never forget him.
Thank you Susan so much for all the times you sacrificed so that Gary could do all that he did for us and most of all... thank you for sharing him with us.
We love you and know that G$ will always have a place in our hearts and a spot on the rail.
