Gary lived every day of his life with zest and limitless energy and he will be missed by all that knew him.

My most sincere condolences to Gary's family. I used to manage the Texaco on Wyoming Ave near the bowling alley. Gary was a regular customer and I always enjoyed seeing him. I'm so very sad to hear of his passing.

To Gary's entire family, please accept my sincere condolences. Gary was truly one of a kind. He always had such a unique take on things and was an entrepreneur before anyone knew what one even was. RIP Gary. I hope you find peace, love and laughter in Heaven.

Gary as concert promoter and me as newspaper reporter/editor. He'd call for publicity, for advice, to do battle, to talk. He was up against competition with more clout. I had my own competition. It was funny, it was heated. The conversations always ended amicably. Always. My condolences. RIP Gary.
