I have many memories of Gary, from the Charlotte Ice Rink with his brothers Donnie & Dickie in our younger year and as a classmate and close friend in our later years. I will truly miss him at the high school reunions and all the other get togethers with our class. So glad he is finally with the "love of his life, Debby." I'll also miss his beautiful blue eyes and smile! So sad that you left us so early...Love ya, still!

Gary was a true friend,gentleman and kind person. Never told but in my teens I was slipped something in my drink. Well gray saved me for a girl at the party beating me, got me home by hitch hiking a ride for us both. Then staying all night to make sure I was ok. I've offend thought of Gary in my memories and wondered if he new how thankful I am to him. He was an guardian angel then and I'm sure the lord will continue his giving ability to protect.

So sorry to hear about Gary's death. I can still remember him from when we all used to hang out down at Charlotte beach, etc. A great guy.

I am truly sorry to hear about Gary's passing. He was a dear friend and we had lots of fun in Jr. and Sr. High at Charlotte.
He was my partner on 7th grade Spring Weekend, for a lot of events. We did the egg toss and bag race, and laughed the whole time.
I will miss his smile, and kindness. Many times we would just hang out at the beach, to get away from the hassles of life.
Years later, we would talk on the phone, and see each other at reunions, and out and about.
He was a good guy, Rest in Peace, Gary. Love Always, Pals Forever!

Gary was such a wonderful man and we were so blessed to have him in our family. We will truly miss him. I know he is reunited with Aunt Debbie and they are looking down on us (probably plotting what to break next in any given Stiokas household). Janel and Jill, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
