I am heartbroken to learn of Gary's passing. Gary was such a sweet boy in our younger years of grade school.
I recall in 3rd grade - we both were school friends and went to local wrestling matches. I was very distraught one night watching my wrestler on the losing end. Thinking it was 'real' ... as an emotional girl- Gary came over to console me and tell me it was all staged and my guy was ok.
Gary was more concerned that I was distraught than he was about watching the match. Such a kind hearted soul!

His mom, Evelyn, worked with my mom. What love for Gary had she, always bragging on him.

To our 76 Pirate classmate, we'll be loyal.
RIP Gary and know you'll be fondly remembered, genuinely missed, and forever a 76er!
Prayers for Larry and Gary's entire family.

To Gary's sister, brother and son, l loved Gary like a brother. I can't tell you just how devistated I am upon hearing of his passing. Gary and I were childhood friends, played on the same little league baseball team. That began a life time friendship. Growing up with him always around me or I around him was some of the most fun and memorable times of my life. A favorite story he shared with me was one time while visiting him we decided to throw the baseball around. He looked for the longest time trying to find a ball and finally did. So we were throwing it an occasionally missing it and would watch it skidding across the asphalt street. When we finally had enough he exclaimed "boy"! Larry is going to be mad at us. I asked why only to find it it was Larry's (his brother) signed 1968 Houston Astros (full team) and almost everyone of the signatures had been scrubbed by the asphalt street. We had to get rid of the evidence and deny ever knowing what had happened to it. To this day, I don't know if Gary had ever fessed up to Larry to the whereabouts of his autographed 1968 Houston Astros baseball. Love you Gray, Rest in Peace.
