This is a hard one.....my relationship with Gary lasted until his untimely death. Gary was one of the "pack" that I hung around with. We shared many great, crazy, and fun memories together. Gary was always the life of the party. Can you imagine a party with Gary and Robin Ostler together??? Need I say more?? Gary left way too soon...I miss him..........

I have fond memories of Gary, the boy next door to me. We spent many hours when we were young, playing in the streets. He also introduced me to my first and only can of beer at the age of 12. We both got in a lot of trouble that day. I loved his entire family and truly miss him too. The good old days were great!

I really liked Gary. He came swimming at my home a couple of times. He was always such a gentleman and a really great guy with a wonderful sense of humor. Rest in Peace Gary.

Gary was a good friend to me for many years. I remember he was one of the few guys who carried a briefcase in school. I have very fond memories of him and I had a chance to visit with him briefly in 1988. Unfortunately I never kept in touch. He influenced me in a very positive way. God bless him.
