We´re somewhat distant family of Gary´s in Colorado Springs. Life and distance didn´t give us much opportunity to be together.
However, we´ll always remember him as a very kind and thoughtful person...He was quite special that way.
My stepdad Tom Clerc thought the world of Gary! Same is true if my sister, Conny.
The last time my husband and I saw Gary was around 10 years ago when he came by for a visit.
We send our heartfelt condolences to his dear family!
