Tomorrow will be a year since you left us Dad. It's still unbearable for me. I think about you everyday and just want you here. I know it's selfish of me just to want you back knowing that God has you now,but I can't help it. I miss you and love you so much. R.I.P Daddy. And when it's my time I hope you are waiting at the gates for me. ❤

I too, am very sorry and saddened to learn of Gary's passing. We spoke only days before he began his Memorial day vacation and he was so excited.
The world will be a different place without Gary. He was special to many.

Gary was my undergraduate quantitative methods professor at Concord College. He was a powerhouse in the class because the class combined (1) his extensive engineer knowledge of mathematics with (2) his newfound interest in business (Gary had recently branched out on his own and was beginning to operate his own company). I was fortunate to have had him for the class. He was a great professor and always approachable -- I even met with him one time at his office. I never saw Gary without a smile.
After a long separation, I recently reached out to Gary for a recommendation of an engineer in the Beckley area to do a design/build. He responded that he continued to be licensed in West Virginia and indicated he would like to work with me on the project, which I told him I did not plan to begin for a few more years. I was delighted. I have the utmost confidence in his abilities.
I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. He was truly a great guy in every way and will be missed by all who knew him.
