To Michelle Olson:
I wish you enough.
Enough is the time we spend among us.
My dearest friend Garry.
Wish we could of had around of golf
and a last laugh together. But we had enough.
You were a Giant amongst the Giants.
That was enough for me.
I knew the pain you went true for the last 22 years.
We joked to hide the pain.
The great one.......
Sorry my brother and friend that we cannot be their for your darling...

With heartfelt sympathy to Gary's family and loved ones, may you find great comfort in beautiful memories.

We lost a good man, friend and sports reporter in Gary. On a personal level, he was so very kind to my family ... he was a sharing person ... bright and articulate ... a man with a great sense of humor. He was a person who helped move people forward in their life. He was genuinely respected by the high school, college and professional community ... by both coaches and players. May you rest in peace dear friend. See you in that grand dugout.
