I have not seen Gary for years, but seeing his picture brought back memories of wonderful, fun days when he sang in St. Francis Xavier choir. Choir practice was always interesting with the guys in the back row. And the choir was good at singing, too. I extend my sympathy to all of his family. That smile will be missed for sure.
