Dear Kathleen and family, I hold you close in my thoughts and prayers with the unexpected passing of Gary. He was always the life of any party. K R, remember how frustrated you would be and late for our dates because Gary spent so much time in the bathroom perfecting his Eddie Van Halen hair style. You would complain to Dolly about him taking so much time with his hair and he would just say, " Yea, but the ladies love it !" May the good and happy memories you shared, bring each of you comfort at this difficult time. As always, Chet Breitwieser
