I hugged him many times and told him "I love you Uncle Gary",Little did i know when he sent me to get some of his things from his place and to the store,that my Cell would ring with my mom crying and screaming Please come home fast Tony!It is said that the Angel of Death will come like a theif in the night,I can attest it is true.It happened when he saw Uncle Gary alone that one and only time...He recently shared things from his childhood with me being one of 16 kids and how hard life was in the 40s. I pray that the God whos breath we breathe finds all sin forgivin and you White as Snow and Gives you a Forever Joy that is unknown To Earth...I MISS YOU VERY MUCH UNCLE GARY.
