Julia and Amalie,
God bless you both in this time of suffering the loss of your brother and son. He was such a friendly person and we will miss his presence at family get-togethers. Gary was always ready with an observation or conversation and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable.
May he rest in peace.

My condolences to Gary’s family. I miss my friend Spidy , but will treasure the friendship I had for over 15 years. The CB Radio world is not the same without him, he added so much love, fun and always put a smile on your face across the air, or in person.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Gary or Spiderman as we called him on the cb, was more than just a friend, he was truly family to ours. My daughter Amy a.k.a.Sunshine on the cb died 5 yrs. ago the 5th of this June, and Gary came to her home as soon as he heard the news on the cb. The coroner was there and he hugged me and her 2 children John and Dannielle, and swore he'd be there for all of us and he fondly became Uncle Spidey. Like the brother I always wish I'd had. He's missed so much! He shared with us the unsettling report his Dr. gave him, not but a couple of weeks before he was found at his home. We hoped he'd still be around longer than he was. We were one of the last to see him at our home, and he talked to me before he tried to go to bed the night of the 8th. He said "Hi pretty lady, hope you have a great Mothers Day, I'm going to bed" I said thank you hope you have sweet dreams! Our deepest Sympathy to Amalie, he loved you dearly, and spent alot of time with you, he told us it was very hard to tell you of his condition, and ask you to see that certain things happen we he was gone. And he always spoke fondly of Julia too. I'm glad your taking care of his beloved kitty Kroger. If there's anything we can do, please don't hesitate to call us. RIP Gary our dear friend. Love Cyndy&Chuck Clark a.k.a. KCKIDD & Countrycat
