Worked with Gary at Tracker. He was a dear friend. We went to many revivals together. Shared our faith and encouraged each other. Shared lunch. He was a good brother in Christ. Even though I hadn't seen or talked to him in years he will be missed. Some people enter your life and become a permanent part of it. I look forward to seeing him in heaven. Will miss you until then brother.

I really do not know where to start. Gary was one of those people who you could just glance at and feel and know his heart. He had so much love and happiness inside and enough to share to many. My mind is all over because to be honest, I have many good stories about him. 1.) Do not drop your fiance's fork , blow it off and give it to your fiance anyways(Gary Tattletales!) 2.) You can not hide if your expecting! (Gary knows) 3.) Do not blow your trash in his area when he is not looking. (Gary will see). 4.) No matter what...he will always be "Old Man" and I will be "Little , Fat Girl" . I know he is smiling at this. Gary was so special to many and my son said by the way, "Better to drive slow and mom drives crazy"! Lol I will hear in the back of my head always..."Come on little fat girl!"
I'm guessing by now Dad and Uncle Gary are fishing in heaven together...RIP Uncle Gary.
