View all 15 ReflectionsGary was one of my three brothers. He has joined my oldest brother Richard in Heaven. With our Mother and Daddy and his son Eric. Gary and I were close as kids. He tried to keep the boys away! He loved Elvis Presley! He had a guitar and imitated Elvis all the time. He and his High School buddies stayed close over the years. I know they miss him as much as I do. He had a Great personality and a lot of friends. He loved his wife Judy and sons Allen, Eric and Shawn. Rest High on that Mountain brother. I'll see you again one day. Praise God!
