Gary always had nicknames for me when I was little. He called me little oink because I would snort when I laughed. He was in my life as a step father for a short time and we shared a birthday. He was an influence to my childhood and he will be missed dearly.

I met Gary when I was about 10 years old, he was dating my sister Jean. They later married and had my nephews Paul and Brent....I still have smiles from some of those good old memories!!!

I knew Gary since 1966. We rode motorcycles together. Had many other adventures over the years. Gary was responsible for me entering law enforcement. I spent 7 years working under his direction. Many meaningful memories of my dear friend. We lost close contact these past years. Memories last longer. Good bye dear friend. I will meet you on the other side.
