Gary & I grew up in the same Pontiac, MI neighborhood. I recently found this photo in an old picture album I inherited from my father. It's a pretty good picture of Gary as a 5 or 6 year old so I thought his family may like to have it.

I remmember when Gary used to come over to our house on Genella Street to visit Mom and Dad and I. He was a great father to his children. He had a good heart full of love. His mom gave me some canna lilies from her yard when we went to visit her. He sincerly will be missed.
