Took me a couple of days to reflect on Gary. As a child he was so fun when he came to the farm. The sad look in his bright eyes when he stood at the casket for my brother Chris. The kindness and help he gave to me as a very young adult. Reeled me in many times. Will never forget the time he tryed to tell my Mother how to boil sweet corn. She wouldn't hear of it. Yet, she did cook it the way he suggested afterwords. To this day I cook sweet corn the Gary way. Beautiful eyes, beautiful smile, blessed soul. God will take care of you. Thank you for being there for me. Theresa
