Gary, miss you man.


You left an mark in my life that will last forever. It was a privilege to have worked those streets with you and honored to have been there when they dedicated the 20th yr of your EOW plaque in your name at the new PSA 7. Seeing the guys again and just reliving your time with us was a joy. You were alive again, on patrol again, if not just for a few hours.

Knowing you has made me a better man. You were truly, a gentle giant, in our eyes and especially in our hearts.

Donald too is in my thoughts and prayers.

RIP my brother......you will never be forgotten!
