TO the family and friends of Gary, We go way back to the early days of the Conde Cavaliers. Gary was normally there on those Sunday nights that you could call into the radio station to request "Celebration", the theme song of the Conde's. He will be missed.

Gary you are a great person. You have a first class family. You didn't need to be closer but in your passing you brought your family closer together. Our prayers go out to you mother and the rest of your family. May God place his healing hand upon their hearts. Jon, Adrienne, Sydney and Stella Gray

Rest in peace my friend. You were one of the good guys in the tough business of broadcasting. I remember our early days at WKRG and you doing your thing at G100, while I was on the air at WKRG AM. You have been a good friend to me the past 3 decades and always remembered by birthday. Your courage was an inspiration. I know your biggest account yet, is paying off, now that you are with our Lord.

Well my friend we never did think we'd make it this long!Glad you are now pain free. Gary & I went to high school together, worked at WKRG together and after he went into sales and I went into Tattoo he sold me air time! My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family..what a great friend we have lost...he will live on in our memories and that would make him smile.

Gary was a great guy, always greeting you with a smile. He sure will be missed. We had some really good times, from softball back in the 80's to years of a personal and business relationship.
