My condolences go out to the Tompkins family and you are in my prayers. Gary was a special person to us all and truly will be missed. Bobby you and Gary showed a Father's and son's love for each other. Jackson is a better place and makes me so proud to be in your life. Gary motivated me and always took time to talk after the games. Gary was like a big brother on the basketball court and off.
