I am so sorry, Gary will be missed. He was one of my favorite people. When I first started working, I would work Saturdays by myself. I could always count on him to be there to keep me company, we spent many Saturdays together talking about life and what we wanted out of it. He was truly one of a kind. I will sure miss him. Love you Gary until we meet again.
