It has been nearly 5 years. It feels like just last week we talked. I still think of you on a daily basis.
Every time I enter my train room I am reminded of you and your painting skills. I will never forget you buddy!

It´s been Four years and I still think of him daily. Every time I walk into my train room I see the backdrop he painted for me. Many times I come up with new ideas and builds and I want to show him and get his opinion. Every time I order Massey´s pizza, or go to a train show I think of him!! He is truly missed!!

I miss him. I think about almost daily. He was one of the best friends that I have had in my life. Every time I go in my train room and every train show I go to I am always thinking about what Gary would say or do. He had a great sense of humor and big heart. We shared a lot of sarcasms back and forth. Man I miss him. Can´t wait to see him and give him another hug!

He was a great friend with a huge heart. I loved his laugh and the way he could harass you in fun. I enjoyed many road trip and thousands of miles in a vehicle with him. He made me nervous one time on our way to Hickory North Carolina. I looked over and asked him if we could go any faster ( we were going about 95). He said if the cars in front of us would move he could.

I am heartbroken. I just learned of Gary’s passing and will forever wish I had been able to attend his service. He taught me quite a bit about not only construction, but also myself. My heart goes out to his kids and grandkids as I know Gary’s world revolved around them. Rest In Peace, old friend. Until we meet again ...
