Sad to hear of Gary's passing, Gary was a boss of mine at Marlo Coil who became a friend he organized a few fishing tournaments there that I participated in had some very good times with him. Know he touched many people positively. Was only one of a few men I'd let call me Mikey God be with you on your journey Gary.
