Gary was a very special person. He was a devout christian and he was a loving person. My brother met him only one time and said that Gary was an outstanding person. He is now with the Lord in all his glory. Thank you God for sharing Gary with us here on earth. Prayers to the family. God bless them and comfort them in their time of sorrow.

Many if not all who read this don't know me but Gary made an impact on me only a few years ago. I am Gary's neighbor, our back yards butt up against each other's. He had heard I was going through a divorce and knew the responsibility of maintaining my home by myself would not be easy. He came over to my house and offered to cut my backyard grass all summer. I had already heard he was fighting cancer (Initial diagnosis). I told him I should be helping him, not him helping me. He said he is doing great n offered again.
At a time in my life when I really needed a hand he offered that hand. All though we spoke sparringly Gary.....I will never forget that my friend. Godspeed neighbor.

P.S. My deepest condolences to all Gary's loved ones. I am sorry for your loss.
