I remember meeting him as a kid when he worked with my day. He was always smiling and made everyone feel so comfortable. He will be missed.

Gary lived 5 blocks away from me in Ada, OK., just far enough away, so that when we were 8 or 9, I was the leader of my neighborhood army and he was the Leader of his! We "fought", but were friends from First Grade at Washington Elementary, through high school. Last year we played golf together at his and Linda's Laguna Vista home near Padre Island!

Linda - so sorry for you loss. Gary was always so fun and a hoot to be around. His laughter and love for life were contagious. Many thoughts and prayers to you.

I remember how Gary and my dad, Ken, loved to cut up in choir....sometimes actually in the loft during services!
