Marie, sending you prayers for peace at this time of loss. Gary was a good man, and he will be missed. I will always remember the work Christmas parties, and the "may I be catty" line that meant Gary and I were misbehaving. May God comfort you.

I posted this to Facebook:
When I was 10 years old my aunt was going to surprise me on my birthday. She was dating a new man who showed up early. When I asked my mom who he was she quickly said "This is my cousin, Gary". I said, "You don't have a cousin Gary" and she said. "I have lots of cousins you don't know about."
To this day I always referred to him as my Cousin-Uncle.
R.I.P. Cousin Gary
