Gary, you were a good friend. I am proud to have been your friend and associate.
I’d like to express my sincerest condolences to Gary’s family. Gary, we met in first grade and did all those things that childhood friends do, things that I never tire of remembering. I hadn’t seen you in over twenty years, though I’d been thinking of you lately. Funny how that happens. Thanks for being my friend all these years. You’re in a better place, buddy.
.
Betty and Pat and the rest of your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
My sympathy goes out to Gary’s family. I knew Gary from high school and had the biggest crush on him when I was in 8th grade. I remember when he moved to Houston and lived with us. Some other friends had a dog that really liked Gary. I have lots of fond memories. He will be missed greatly.
I knew Gary when we were kids. We also dated when we were young. Like Pat S I have thought of him recently. We are having our class reunion this year and his presence will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. You will be missed! Betty
