Gary and I have been best of friends for over 50 years. Even though we lived miles apart we always kept in touch, for many years we would call each other on birthdays and holidays and share a toast to each other and our family’s. I for one will miss him so very much we were closer than even some of our family members and if at any time we needed help or just talk time we made it happen whenever possible. Loved that man like my own Brother. I will see you on the other side.

My Uncle Gary has been a huge part of my upbringing. He was always there for my father Terry and there for almost every hunting trip I went on with them. I remember my first deer I shot was with my Uncle Gary. My father stayed at hunting camp and Uncle Gary and I had to get home so I could get back to school and he could go to work. He got me into Nissan 300 Z’s. So much that I bought one and made my trip out to him. Raced him and his awesome 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix. I could get him off the line, but he caught me and won. Did this twice. Raced back and he won again. The book I could right about my greatest Uncle would be to long if I continue, but He will forever be in my heart and Uncle Gary when you read this you were always there for me and I want you to be that Angel I always new you were in life for me now. Bless you Sir and I love and will always miss you. I will see you on the other side Sir. Tears and God now has another one of our greats Earth had the pleasure of having.

I met Gary as a teenager and was instantly star struck. He was so handsome. Because of his sister Laura, I was able to date him for a short time. Gary had a loving heart but at that time there were demons in his life that caused him great sadness. Once he went in the military he chose a different direction and i lost touch with him . but i was blessed to hsve become good friends with Laura and good thoughts of Carls, Cynthia and their mom. Rest in peave dear Gary.
