I did not really know Gary well, but I know he loved my sister that he adopted and for that I am thankful. I remember when I was young I would come over every other weekend to spend time with my mom and many times I remember Gary would let me dance with him in the living room of his house, I always enjoyed that! I send my condolences to the family, and may he rest in eternal peace with the Lord.
