Some of my happiest childhood memories were the nights I stayed with Uncle Gary and Aunt Kelly. So much laughter. So much love. So many simple moments that turned into lifelong memories.
I didn´t realize at the time how special those nights were. I do now.
I´ll miss you forever, Uncle Gary. Thank you for loving me the way you did.

My uncle Gary was probably the luckiest man I´ve ever known even when things look d tough he knew exactly what to do in just about every situation he helped me in some really tough times in my life and always showed me the most love he could at all times I´ll never forget the time we went camping and one of the neighbor campers found glowing bark I´m pretty sure that as at raccoon lake I love you all!
