My condolences to Gary’s family, I had the privilege of working beside him while we both ran our own businesses. If you knew him, you grew to love him. He would give you the shirt off his back and he lived for the Lord. I am glad that we crossed paths in life and I was able to know this wonderful man. I pray everyone finds peace in this difficult situation. Fly high Gary!!!
