Daddy, not a minute goes by that I don't think of you and miss you more than words could say. I was so blessed to have the best two parents a girl could ask for and if it wasn't for my mom and Dad my children wouldn't be the people they are today. You were always there for all of us, so now rest in heaven with Mom and know that I will continue your legacy of family and always take care of my children and grandchildren with your love in mind. Love always and forever, your (monkey) daughter, Christy.

I met Gary many years ago, working for the O'conner Corp. on Bald Head Island. He made an impression of a very fine man, and I've never forgot him. May God be with you during your loss. So sorry to hear of his passing.
