Gary was my neighbor for many many years. I did not know him outside of his home life, but he had a super sweet side to him. I would ride my horse down my driveway and he and Andrew would see me off the deck. He would often come down and say hi. He really had a thing for the horse. Gary also helped me when I was snowbound. I am so very , very sorry for the sad news.
