Gary was such a good friend. I was his hairdresser since his mom sent him to the salon I worked at when he was 16! (Bless you Evelyn) I thought he was in a band because his hair was so long! We shared 50 years of laughs ,joy, pain, loss and illnesses. I will miss him. Hope he's watching over all of us and eating his pie with just sauce and a bag of Halos a day. Godspeed dear friend.
