    I want to send my deepest sympathy to the family of Gary. I remember Gary when I was younger, he was a friend to my Uncles and Mom. Gary was a good man and I missed seeing him, infact I was just thinking of him the other day. R.I.P. Gary, you are an Angel with the Lord now. God Bless your family.
