It breaks my heart to hear of Gary's passing. We were friends for about 45 years. You rarely saw Gary without his Beautiful wife Patty and my heart goes out to her and the entire family.

Fond memories of a really good person who had a great sense of humor and a warm heart. His passing is a great loss to all his family and friends.
