I will miss you my friend of 63 years! I have many fond memories of growing up with Gary, attending Sacred Heart Academy and then Central. We played hours and hours of whiffle ball across from his house on Park Hill with many others friends in the neighborhood and that were attending Sacred Heart. He and I attended our first live concert when we saw Jimi Hendrix at the Orpheum in Memphis. I could go on and on. You will remain in my thoughts until I see you again one of these days. Love you, man!!

We've shared many a laugh and a few tears of the years. From the "Purple Towels" affair, to the joy of grandchildren. You have been by brother. You've been there for me in my time of need, even when you had your good pants on! LOL! Just have that 396 warmed up when I see you again. We'll race across the Heavens. Love Ya bro.

Gary life has changed so much without you and never will be the same again. You were a bright light of joy in this world. There will not be a day you don’t make me cry in happiness and sadness. The memories we have made in these last few short years are priceless. I will cherish them to my last breathe . I love and miss you so much. Looking forward to the day I see that mischievous smile and that twinkle in your eyes. Love you so much.
