Gary was a good friend to me. I met him after he moved to St Joseph from Chicago when he opened his auto repair shop on Faraon St. I was also raised in the Chicago area, moving to St Joseph, and became a friend to Gary and his wife, Diane. He helped me with my auto problems as well as helping me with issues around my house. He was always there when I asked him to be. My condolences and prayers to Erik and Sarena and to the entire family. God bless him and all of his family members
