A talented orator that will be a missed influence. Someone who LOVED to pass knowledge to anyone willing and open enough to listen. He had a passion for politics. I was always excited to listen to him. I still tell some of his jokes!

I send my condolences to the family. When Gary and I both worked at World Insurance, he would often stop and chat. He was extremely intelligent and witty, as well as very generous. He gave of himself to help other people out. May the Good Lord watch over him.

I would have to say Gary was like a 2nd dad to me. He always helped me out when i needed it no matter what it was and not just me but anybody for that matter. his jokes would put a smile on your face for hours he was great at playing the piano and i thank god that i was ever allowed to meet such a man of GREAT character,wit,intelligence,sense of humor, but most importantly a HUGE HEART that never stopped giving. I will always miss Gary and may GOD bless him and grant him peace now..
