It is hard to believe so many years have passed since we lost Gary. He is still spoken of very fondly by many here at PowerDistributors – I believe that fact speaks volumes regarding the character of the man.

We miss you Gary.

Uncle Gary,
You always told me that when it came to women, to run like the wind. When you found out that I was still seeing Dani, you asked why I hadn't run yet. Its for the same reason you shot the clay pigeon after it hit the ground. Because it ain't over til its over. It may seem over, but the ride has just begun. Hop on your Harley and ride up to St. Pete. Rest In Peace.

Gary embodied these “fruits” in his own quiet way: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control. Above these he was also an honorable man. My family owes a great debt to Gary. I pray that a peacefulness from the Lord guide and cover your family in the days and years to come. It was my privilege to have known Gary, he will be greatly missed at Atlantic Power.

God Bless,
