Gary was my oldest brother. We never lived close and we did not get the chance to spend a lot of time with Gary and Mary. But I loved him annd always felt that because of him I survived childhood. My 2 other brothers picked on me a lot and Gary always looked after me. He was my hero
Rest in peace Gary. Mary , I am so sorry for your loss!
