Going to miss you my riding partner and dear friend. I couldn´t have asked for a better road trip partner. You never complained about the journey...wind, rain, hail or thunderstorms.
Our first trip was through Las Vegas. This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us

Gary was a sweet and funny man. I was lucky to have him as my father-in-law. He loved his family, always sending birthday cards and Christmas cards! He was loved, and will be missed!
