What can I say… Gary was a brother in law that was my brother. He was someone that would stick with you through thick and thin. He was there through all the storms, steady and ready to help. My kids knew him as Uncle Gary. Uncle Gary set the standard on being an Uncle. He never failed them. We were all blessed to have loved him and have been loved by him. My the love we all shared bring us peace and fill our broken hearts. Gary, tell Brenda I love her. Forever, Tammy and family.
