Gary,

You always impressed me the way you viewed a friend. Wether you met them online or in person you still treated them the same. It always made me laugh when Will and I would come visit and you would "introduce" us to one of your new friends from around the globe. Looking back at it you did the same thing when I met you. You treated me as though we had been friends forever and welcomed me into your group of close friends. You are an amazing man with the kindest heart and for that I know I will miss you here on Earth.

You were one of my closest friends and I feel as thought I have known you forever. I guess a part of me is still in shock that my friend is no longer around. I will miss the good times that we had. I had to laugh a little when every one remembers you for Cape Cods, I was the one that got you hooked on them and we drank a lot of them at Pacific Street. I am sad to know that I have to go on without you my friend, I will miss you every day of my life. You will have to keep an eye on me, you know better than anyone else I can use a Guardian Angel down here.

Gary, Since the very first time we met you where one the sweetest most loving persons I had ever met in my life, You where always there when someone needed a sholder to cry on or just one of your famous Vodka cocktails. Even when we moved to Dallas you always kept in touch and always gave us a place to stay when we visited Houston.I love you and will miss you very much, But I guess GOD has other plans for you. So until we see each other again Keep an eye on us down here we can always use another ANGEL in our corner.

My Angel from Heaven, Every person you came in contact with loved the person inside. You touched so many people's hearts in so many ways especially mine. The day I heard you had you were gone, my heart broke in two. I know God needed you to be with him because you completed you job on Earth. You brought so many people together. I love you and will miss you but you will always be in my heart and I will never forget you.

I met Gary through some mutual friends about 9 years ago when I relocated back to Houston from New York City. He was always so kind from the moment we met. I will never forget the Absolut Vodka cocktails he would serve during our visits, they were absolutely wonderful. When I relocated to Los Angeles earlier this year, I was so touched that he gave me his telephone number and email address to keep in touch, which we did. Gary, I will miss your positive attitude, laugh, and email chats that will remain with me forever. I am confident I will see you again. Your kindness and zest for life was an example for all to follow....
