I was saddened to learn of the passing of Gary. I go back a long way with Gary and his family. I think Gary was nine when I first met he and his father in Pine Hills Little League. My condolences and love to the entire family.

When growing up back in the 50's & 60's in Pine Hills "everybody" knew & loved the "Fox" Family. The entire family was involved with the schools or community activities by either playing, cheering or coaching. A great family who lots of us looked up to. Gary was a little younger but he was a "Fox" and that meant alot. I am priviledged just to have been able to know Gary and the entire "Fox" family. We love you man !!

I feel like I've lost a part of my childhood with the loss of Gary. How lucky I was to have known him and all the other Fox kids who came into my life as a small child in Ohio and who I grew up with in Orlando. The last time I saw him was at our high school reunion and he always had a big smile for me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Fox family from the entire "Hoffman" family., Love, Elayne

It was many years ago that I new Gary. I like many other's remember him as a quiet friendly classmate.
Seems a life time ago and guess it was. My prayers to the family. And just keep all your memories of Gary close by to help carry you through.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same. Gary has certainly left footprints in my heart, even thought i never had the chance to meet him in person he was a good friend and he'll always be remembered. My deepest sympathy to all his family and friends

We appreciated and feel blessed for the opportunity to spend some time with Gary in his last few months. We were encouraged by his toughness and his willingness to keep on fighting. He was a great guy and we, along with a lot of other folks, will miss him.

Barbara, Larry, Dennis & Mike,
I know all of you will miss Gary, because he was a good brother. Ray remembers Gary from school as always quiet and never, ever bothering anyone. Just an all around nice person, with a kind word for everyone. And, what a long and hard battle he did fight! Enjoy all of your childhood memories with Gary, they will get you through this. GOD Bless all of you, Love, Ray & Gail

It's been many years since we've seen or spoken to one another but our years growing up together and our families so close back then makes it like we've never been apart--you will truly be missed by all!!
