I so admired Gary's passion for life as displayed in his Love and devotion to his wife, Faith. He displayed the passion in his music and in pickleball. His love was contagious and will be long remembered. I will miss the red sneakers and winning smile. He made every meeting a joy. Prayers for Faith and the family.

So sad to hear that Gary is no longer with us. He was a star performer in our Kiawah Arts Council piano bars. People came just to see and hear his wonderful music. May he continue his exceptional talent in heaven. RIP Gary

I worked with Gary from 1970 thru around 2000.I knew his family and friends.We spent many good years together.He was a loyal,honest and hard working friend.
I had not talked to Gary for 25 years until I called him about three days ago.How ironic is that.I promised to come visit him in Charesston and have lunch.
Lunch will have to wait.

Good Bless
Gary
