I Love you brother with all my heart. You’re in gods arm’s now. Until we meet again.
Lived next to Gary for probably 15 years . As a kid we tried not to play too close to Garys new truck . Because Gary had a yelling voice on him and he sure knew how to use it . Playing into that ” get out of my yard ” stereotypical grumpy neighbor . He was good at it . As I got older and got to know him , he became a good friend and actually was one of the nicer people I knew . He loved his family. It was ridiculously cute to see him hang out with his granddaughters. I’m definitely going to miss our chats .
You will be missed. Prayers for the family.
