Gary is a very meaningful person to me. I was outside with my children when my little boys started screaming and I heard a crash. Gary had crashed into a tree in my front yard. I was in the car with him less than two minutes after he hit. The details of that day stick with me everyday. I had finished college to be a nurse at that time but never pursued the career. A week after Gary passed I joined the fire department, got my emt and have since served our community to help anyone I can because of Gary. I know I could have not saved him but I think about him every call I run. Thank you Gary for changing my life.
