To Gary's family and friends, He was a fantastic person and someone I enjoyed being with in the Fire Station. Besides his unique voice and smile, he was a unique person always seeking adventure, as you know. He was very good at any task he undertook and showed super strength and reasoning under pressure. The entire Hialeah Firefighters Department will miss him, but we are proud he was with us for so many years. May God bless his Family and God Speed to our Brother Gary.

Gary is one of the best people I've ever met. Awesome time together fixing generators all over NYC. I'm sorry life got in the way and I didn't see you.
Had some great bike rides as well.
Miss you, Buddy.
