Gary was such a softy, I loved that about him. I always knew if I needed help with anything I could count on him to either show me or tell me how!! I am thinking of how he teased me about how I painted at the lake, I guess I was doing it alllll wrong according to Gary's world!! I love him so much and will miss seeing him, but he will always be in my heart and memories. Say hi to dad up there!! Love ya
