Gary was a true friend first and my stylist second. I loved to go and see Gary and if I waited to long for a haircut I would miss him. I feel lucky to have met Gary and had him for a friend. I will never be able to replace what I had with Gary.

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of Gary's family & friends.He will be sorely missed.I only knew him for a couple years but he always had me laughing at something. I will miss seeing him running out the door of the shop for food. The shop won't be the same without him. My deepest sympathies,

I am so sorry to learn of Gary's passing. His humor and personality were unforgettable, and I will always remember how comfortable he made me feel when coming into the salon - and I wasn't even his client.
May he rest in peace, and I pray that his memory will be a blessing to all those who loved him.
