So sorry for your loss. I worked at Cloud from 83-87 along with my dad. The first time I met Gary was the day my car slid into the ditch during an ice storm and here he came in his Yellow Ford along with my dad to help. I never forgot that. A good man is remembered by his deeds.

Such good memories we have of Gary at Ty’s baseball games, nothing he enjoyed more than being Ty’s pawpaw Gary. He was a good family man and it was a blessing to share a grandson with him. We will miss you Gary.
