RiP Gary i will never forget you known you all my life. And you were my brother. Everytime i seen you you would grab my arm and it would always hurt i would say damn gary that hurt lol but i knew it was out of love. 😘

What a character you were Uncle Gary! I’ll never forget when I was younger you came over and I thought you were an Amish guy with the way you were dressed. Funniest thing ever. Always wearing some sort of vest and long hair. I’ll miss you Uncle Gary! Love you ❤️

Every memory I have of Uncle Gary is a funny one. I can still hear him calling me by the nick name he had for me, “Hefner”. Lol! You will be missed Unc. Give Granny, Nana and Chris a hug for me. Love ya!

Well Gary, what can I say. You always treated me with kindness. From the day we met 32 years ago, kindness always. I remember you letting Harley wear your boots. And the trip to Memphis to pick my brother up!!!! Wow, that was definitely a wild ride, you Tony and I turned that 9 hour drive into a 19 hour drive!!! But hey, we made it back safe and sound!!! You will be missed by many!! Although the Vinson’s have a unique way of loving each other the love was always there. Rest easy my brother.

Daddy i dont know where to start with the memory I have of you. From when i was little a d you were driving a ice cream truck, to sitting on uncle ray lap listening to yall play music. I am so thankful you got to know my children and we fixed our relationship. I will miss you so much daddy. I love you daddy. I know you are in heaven with my mom and riding a motorcycle. 

Although not by blood, Gary was and is my brother..I have known him since 1965..He and his brothers were some of ny first friends on earth.I will never forget you Gary..You were one of a kind..I love ya' Brother.

My Uncle Gary, You will be missed. I really don't have enough room on this page to say all the memories I have. Uncle Gary was a very loving and vocal man. He loved getting with his brothers and singing. Uncle Gary was a wild individual and would always say what was on his mind. I just want to say that I will truly miss him . 
I remember as a teenager going to my Uncle's house and having more fun than a young man should have .  I can say that there was never a dull moment when I was around him in the past. Uncle Gary I ( LiL Tony) will miss as everyone else will as well. I love you and say hello to all of our loved ones up there . Please tell Jesus I said hi.
Love you. LIL Tony.
