I am so, so saddened by the passing of Gary. I vividly recall the last time I saw him. Gary and Carol were back in Michigan and Steve George had invited Gary, Paul Hursley and myself to his home for a boat ride. It was a beautiful summer day and Gary seemed very happy to see his old high school and college friends again. I hadn´t seen Gary in a while and when we saw each other again, it was if the years just melted away. We exchanged memories and talked about high school, bands we were in at MSU, and just life in general. It was so great to see him again. I loved his smile and his witty jokes which always cracked me up. Steve, Paul and I were lifelong friends and it was wonderful for the four of us to be together again. Sadly, Gary has left us but his memory is strong and will span the remainder of my life. Rest in peace my good friend.
