I'll always cherish the times spent with Gary when we were kids. It was always a pleasure to visit with him, the last time, here at our home. Gary will be missed by many. I will miss him. Prayers from my wife Kerry, and from me for Gary's family. May the Lord comfort you in this time of great loss.
