Think about you all the time and miss you terribly

To Kathy, Jerod, and Rachel, I send you my deepest condolences, belated as they may be.  If I could have been there, God knows I would have.  I am saddened for your loss.

Gary was one of the best persons I knew.  He was kind, giving, considerate, compassionate, and loved his family.  He would have a conversation with just about anybody and make them feel welcomed.  He had a great sense of humor and could certainly drink away a good shot or two of Patron Tequila.  He was well organized and a good role model in many different ways.   Mostly, he was Gary, a determined, strong minded individual who knew what he liked and shared his life with others, unselfishly.

Gary was a very special person, and I am deeply sorry for his departure.   May he rest in heaven until we arrive there to see him again.

Gary was my friend for 44 years.  He was generous, always the life of the party and yes you could hear his laughter from far away.   Gary wasn’t an accomplished athlete but he could hop on a Harley and ride 5,000 miles in 2 weeks or hop on a horse and ride from the Sierras to the Owens valley in 3 days to bring in pack horses for the winter.  

Gary loved Harley motorcycles and when he found out that the LAPD was considering starting one of the first reserve motor divisions in the country, he jumped in.  And one more thing, Gary was the LAPD reserve officer of the year.  That was all of the LAPD, 12,000 officers and counting.

Gary was a good friend. Our friendship was not without problems (what relationships don’t have a few glitches along the way)  and as we all do,I wish I had talked with him more before he passed away but I didn’t.  

I will always love him as the brother I never had. Everyone deserves a good friend and Gary was one of the best.

Although I hadn’t seen Gary in years now what I remember most clearly about him is that laugh...who could ever forget that laugh.  It was somewhere between a lions roar and a cackle.   And best of all it never took much to get one out of him.
