We were always kept abreast of how the family was doing. Although recent years have drawn us apart we still kept up via facebook and such. I know he was a good Godly man and will be sorely missed. Fly high Gary and take your reward for a good life in service to your Lord.

July 20, 2024 11:19 pm ·I am so sorry to hear about his passing. We were good friends growing up on the Crooked Road. This brings up some memories that I hadn’t visited in years. I have lost track of him and his family. But I know I have never heard anything negative about him. As I look back i don’t remember him ever using a swear word or saying anything bad about another person. So, while this is a sad or depressing time for some of us, remember the good things that I am sure he brought to your lives
