Very sorry to hear about Gary's passing. I had the privilege of working with Gary for several years back in out GSI days in the Dow plants. He was tough as nails with a Big Heart! We miss our little get togethers at Kroger on weekend mornings! Sending blessings and condolences to Jacquetta and family.

We pray for their healing, both physically and emotionally. Lord I ask you to wrap your loving arms around Gary's family and give them the strength to get through the coming days. Amen
