I was a fraternity brother and friend to Garo. He was bigger than life and we had lots of adventures together. My favorite photo was a group of us at the Kentucky Derby and we got the police to pose with us doing "See no evil, hear no evil, sepal no evil".
I just found out about his passing. I was getting ready to see if we could get together at the Buckeye and Oregon game. Although we only talked a couple of times a year, we were close and we both friends of Bill. My heart goes out to Lauren, rest assured he loved you deeply. Gary will always be in my prayers, may he rest in God´s warm embrace.

I meet Gary when I first got into real estate. He was always helpful, polite, and a deal maker. He will be missed. jay
