Gary was my cousin, he was loved and admired by so many people whose lives he touched and will be remembered and missed by all. Words of wisdom written by Gary:
I thought I would write something that has been on my AOL profile for the past 6 years. I try to live everyday to its fullest, try not to leave anything important undone or unsaid. Tell those close to me how much they mean to me. I try to think of others first and how they will judge me when I'm gone. Have fun and enjoy your friends and family, don't take yourself too seriously. Thank God everyday for this beautiful country and ENJOY,,,, life is indeed much to short.
