I did not know Gary well but I was so positively impressed with his demeanor when he first introduced himself to me when I was walking by his home. Over the next few years he always made of point of talking to me when I walked by. What a nice man. I offer my sympathy to the family because I am sure it is a painful loss. May Gary rest in peace. His neighbor, Joyce Monte
