Gary was a gentle giant. A man with a big heart, friendly demeanor, and a caring disposition. Rest in peace my brother. Your soul will live on forever.

Yesterday

I grieve for a buddy. We travelled to British Columbia to chase bears, South Africa for a warthog, Zimbabwe and Botswana to see the natural wonders of the world, and to South Dakota, where he loved to meet friends and exercise his dog every year in a short bus. He left the world too early, but he never wanted to linger. Surviving cancer twice taught him that. I´ll miss him greatly from the adventures we still had planned.
