Gary will Always be Gary.
His kindness, generosity and honesty
touched us all in so many different ways.
Do not be sad, but take comfort in the thought
that we were the chosen few invited past the
wooden gate and into his comic book kingdom.
And although that kingdom is gone from this
earth, we can rejoice in the knowledge that
even now he is preparing a new comic book
kingdom for us beyond a new gate.
However, for the present, we will miss him.
Thank you for being his friend.

Gary was an excellent retailer and a better friend. We knew each other when I had the privilege to be his wholesale source for comics in the ´80´s. He attended my birthday celebration and invited me to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Our paths separated, but I have fond memories that I share frequently.
He will be remembered.

Gary, I will truly miss you. I remember so clearly that first day you came into Mrs. Bymaster's first grade class and you sat right in front of me with your red Hawaiian shirt! We celebrated reunions, birthdays, just for fun gatherings, and we remained friend throughout your life. Rest well my friend.
Love, Brinda
