Gary was so much fun to hang out with. He especially admired his beloved passed bird he wouldn't ever let go of and spoke highly of his family. He loved to party and loved black label society as much as I did cruising around in his blazer he'd crank that music so loud you'd think you were at a concert my fondest memories were of him and his uncle in vt when they would fix anything you sent there way at least they would tell you what was wrong if it couldn't get fixed. I will miss your smile and laughs with many conversations we would share . He truly loved everyone and if you were an outcast he would let you know he was a good man about that .he will truly be missed.
