Gary was a very special man who loved the lord and enjoyed entertaining and talking with friends. I recall one time I picked Gary and Ray Wilson up and took them bowling with some of my daughter's friends. He had such a good time and loved flirting with the girls doing impressions and passing out compliments.

Sing those hymns loud and strong buddy!
