I am very saddened to learn that Gary's earthly journey has ended. My condolences to his family. He was my best friend in high school and I have such fond memories of cruising in the Chevelle, skydiving (just once for Gary), and seeing The Rolling Stones in 1978. Our paths crossed only once after graduation and we said we would get together....I look forward to that day!

Truly heart broken to hear about Gary's passing. I had not talked to him in to long but considered him to be a great guy & friend. The last time I talked to him I was at the collector car auction in Alburn Indiana & he was going to try & come over from Ft. Wayne for a catch up visit but something came up & he couldn't make it. I'm in disbelief to hear about this. R.I.P Gary
