You were named after my dad, who was a great guy, and so were you. Growing up, I couldn't wait during the holidays for you to arrive from Mass. We certainly had a lot of fun at Gram's house. Say Hi to all of our family for me. I am very sad to have lost you so young, but I couldn't ask for a better cousin than you. I loved talking NASCAR with you, even if you did like Jeff Gordon. All of my love Gary Alan.. Laurie

I was really surprised to hear the news about my cousin Gary's passing. I hadn't seen him in years, but I remember having a lot of nice conversations with him during his visits to Maine. He worked hard at overcoming the obstacles in his life and came out ahead. He was a good man!
