I remember watching him race stock cars when I was a child. He always had a passion for anything with a good engine. He was a really hard worker and made sure his family had everything they needed. He definitely wasn't afraid to speak his mind and always was able to make anyone laugh, no matter what. I'll always remember him with a Mountain Dew can attached to his hand and a goofy smile on his face. I love you Aunt Angie, Wanda and Gary. My heart is broken with yours. RIP Uncle Gary.

He was a good friend and pleasure to be around. He kept the work place fun and lite and he was a true joy to be around. He left his mark and gave me some great stories that I have told over the years. Even though I haven't seen him since I left Carroll distributing I have still thought of the times I worked along side Gary in the warehouse. It was truly a honor to have known such a happy soul. Fly high friend.
