I also attended Vincennes University and was fortunate enough to call Gary friend. He will always be known to me as a good man & fun to be around. So many good memories from euchre, enjoying some brews to competing together in intramural softball, bike weekend & raft riding teams. We even had a name for our tribe of bandits... Rift Raft Reds lost a charter member. RIP old friend!!

I went to college with Gary at Vincennes University and he roomed next door to me and played Softball and Euchre with our west wing group and made the days go fast and fun. I remember one time giving him a ride back to Marion one weekend and listened to the Beatles, ZZtop and Charlie Daniels all the way there. Broke my heart seeing he had passed, wished we had kept in touch. RIP with the angels Gary.
