I just heard of Gary's death - my prayers and condolences to his family. I have known Gary my whole life through Holiday Hill elementary to Sandalwood High and everywhere in between. Hanging out at the park was a regular thing for the "gang" from Holiday Hill. Gary was a friend to all and will be missed. May you all find peace in the coming days.

The Bomba Family
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have fond memories of Gary for we grew up together in "the hood". We were also classmates from Holiday Hill Elementary to Sandalwood High, my family would dine at his family's restaurant, we would hang out at the Park and get together with friends. Good times. He will be missed.
