Pains me to see another classmate gone. Gary was a "true gunslinger" throughout his life---lived it to the fuillest. Condolences to those he has left behind. May he RIP.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Gary's passing. May he rest in peace, and may his family realize the real enjoyment in their memories of having had the joy of having Gary in their lives.

So shocked to see the passing of Gary. He kept us posted so often of things he was doing with Sophia. Was so nice to keep up with his happenings. Glad to have know you at THS and been your friend all these years ago. Rest in peace Gary and glad you had a wonderful life.

Like many of us, I was saddened to hear of Gary's passing. His positive and energetic comments always lightened the mood. Not quite irreverent, just edgy enough to make you smile and think. He was his old self the last time we talked and that's the image I'll hold close.
Peace to his spirit and his family.
