To Gary's family,
Gary was married to my cousin Vickie who passed away in 2011. Gary was a very nice man who yes, loved Country music as did Vickie. Gary showed me how to do the Texas Two Step when we all were out dancing one night. He was a great dancer and instructor. I know he will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
Gods Blessings,
Fred and Debbie Jones
