I am so sorry to hear about Gary's passing, he was a great guy. I found that out in the short time that I knew him. He could always make me laugh with his smart coments that he would come up with, when he did not get his way...I would just laugh and say oh....Gary...Then he would have to smile.
Rest in peace Gary...I will miss seeing you here!
Love,
Amanda (The oncology center at Lakeview)
