Gary was not only a great athlete, but an even greater, husband, father and individual who genuinely cared for others. He put up the good fight and finished the race and now rests in much deserved peace. We will certainly miss our classmate and friend. Prayers for Karen and the rest of his family now and in the days ahead.

Gary loved his wife and loved his family and as Steve said, a gentle giant. "May angels surround him and Saints welcome me him in peace."
