Hi, I got to know Bill and Mark from my father in law Alex Pace in Franklinton, NC. We'd go fishing down in the keys and would stop by and visit him. Such a nice guy. I wonder who's left now that Alex and Gail have passed away?

My Dear Gary
As I sit here reflecting on the last 10 years without you I have tears in my eyes and an aching, stinging pain in my heart. Missing you is beyond words and imagination. Memories we should be sharing together. Time does not take away my heartache and sadness. I will always miss your beautiful smile, your laughter, your hugs and kisses, seeing you jog down Griffin Rd, working out in the garage, yelling and screaming with Pete during the FSU football games. I can go on and on.
God has blessed us with 2 beautiful granddaughters. Ella Marie and Madison Nicole. They are the light of world. I see you in both of them.
Please watch over us and never leave my side. I will love you and miss you until my last breath and then I will see you again. I love you my Flyguy!!! Love your Flygirl!!!

Not a day goes by that you are not in my thoughts. 7 years! Seems like it was yesterday. I miss your smile, your smirks, your laughs. I just cant believe you are not here. I dream of you only to wake up and realize you are not here. I know you watch over me and the kids and now our beautiful granddaughter, Ella Marie. You are Guardian Angel. I love you with all my heart and soul. I hold on to knowing we will be together again. Love always, your Flygirl!!!!!

Hi Dad...
This space between us -maybe it isn't like distance at all... it is a different way to experience your energy and spirit near... it is waves of comfort and love while I adventure and journey through this world ... it is a reasurring gust of wind everytime I take a jog... you re right there next to me...saying go baby! Go ! ... I hope you can feel me too... I am so grateful for the beautiful childhood you and mom gifted me with, I promise to try to remember all of the things you taught me... and I promise to always laugh about all of the funny little ways you had about you ...and if you have to choose who to see in their dreams - choose your flygirl' tonight, for true love can not be severed by departure from this reality- ....I love you so very much ... Cherry merry muffin much ,Padre.

Dear Gary,
The sadness does not go away. My heart is heavy. I dream of you often, waking up with excitement only to realize that you are not here. The pain stings all over again. Saturday will be 6 years that you left this earth. I know you watch over the kids and I. I feel your presence. I see your face in a stranger. I can hear your voice. The cardinal that randomly shows up in the yard. I know you were waiting for Bud when he left us in Sept. He loved you so much.. You were his favorite person. I will see you again one day, I love you with every breath I take. your flygirl

Happy Birthday Gary! I Wish you were here to see how much your beautiful girls miss you but then again I know you see it all... It still doesn't feel real that you aren't here and there isn't a day that goes by that you don't cross my mind. I wish God would have taken me instead of you because I know how much your girls miss and need you :(( Every time I'm with them I can't help but feel full of sorrow Just thinking about how different everything would be for the better if you were still here. It just doesn't feel the same without your leadership and authority around. I Love you and wanna wish you a great day in heaven on your special day!
Love Junebug ❤

Gary it has taken me 2 yrs to say what I needed to say. Mainly b/c I was terrified that you going home was indeed real & I still can't pull myself to accept it. Doesn't seem real still. Too young, gone too soon. Always caring & helpful. The good ones always taken. Gary you were the brother I never had. My father loved you like the son he never had. Very special to my family. My neighbor. We miss you dearly. Always in our hearts. Hope I did you justice since I waited so long. Rest in Heaven. I pray my dad was there to welcome you!!!

I just learned of Gary's passing today ... I remember him fondly from working out with him at the gym at FIU in the late 80's ... he was a super guy and had a heck of a sense of humor .. I ran into him in Cooper City last year and despite not having seen each other in a while .. he remembered me and we shared some memories and laughs of the times at the FIU gym .. my prayers go out to his family and may God bless his soul ... rest in peace my friend .
