Dear Nona and Melissa,
My deepest condolences and sympathy to you. I will greatly miss Gary. I will always remember his great sense of humor and shared his love for the Washington sports teams especially the Redskins. He was like a younger brother to my mom and she loved him greatly and will miss him as well. I will always cherish the wonderful memories of him.
