Gary was on of my best friends and the best Supervisor ever to work with in Aviation. More than anything, a true Gentleman. Nobody treated people as fair as Gary. We always joked and laughed and had great times together. I remember once he thought he was better than me at shooting pool. I joked with him after beating him the first game and said: It must be embarrassing walking into Champions Bar with you professional cue stick and getting beat by your friend with an Old house cue. lol This got him going! First game was for $20 bucks. After the lost, he says double or nothing. Game 2, I edged him for another win. Down $40, he says double or nothing. I'm game. I take the next. Down $80 now, he says double or nothing. I say lets go back to $20 a game, you're off. After taking him for the $100 dollar ride, we had one more drink and he goes to pay me the $100 bucks. I slide it back across the table and say I'm not taking that from my friend. He tells me, if he won, he would take it from me. So I grabbed the $100 and said give me my money then chump! A memory I'll never forget. I'll never forget you O'l friend. I love ya man! Until me meet again! Sincerely, your friend Bruce

My Dear Becky: I'm so sorry to hear about Gary, I was shocked. I can remember when I worked with his Dad and I babysat with Gary and Cheri many times. I miss all of them, Vern, Bonnie, Cheri and now Gary. I'm so sad, they all were so wonderful to me and I was so close to all of them. A Friendship I will never forget. Take care Becky and give me a call soon. I will also try calling you. My Tel. # is 319-459-1266. Yesterday I was just thinking about giving you and Gary a call. My e-mail address is rolinda3841@gmail.com. Love You Dear Friend. Again I'm so sorry.
