May he rest in peace, while I had not seen Uncle Gary in many years I remember him fondly and his huge NASCAR die cast collection from my summer vacations to New York. To Rickey and family I offer my sincere condolences.

I was so sorry to hear about Gary's passing. He was my lst cousin and although we were not close, I did become close to his mom, my Aunt Betty, in later years. My sincere thoughts and prayers are extended to his family during this most difficult time.

So sorry to hear of your loss Gary Jr. Although I didn't know your father all that well, the times I have seen him he was a complete sweetheart and I am sure you will all miss him a lot. Try to be strong. Your father wouldn't want you to be sad. Remember, he is no longer suffering and is in a better place. He is with you and your family in spirit all the time now. God Bless. If there is anything I can do for you please just let me know. I already told Jess that.

I was shocked to hear the news of Gary's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I knew him from the Nascar store in the Newburgh Mall, where I worked. My mother also worked there and Gary would stop in many times with a cup of coffee for her. He was a very nice man and will be missed.
