Just found out the bad news and I'm so sorry to hear. Gary was a seriously good buddy even though we had not seen each other for years. We worked on a drilling rig together in the early 80's and had many an escapade afterwards. Dear friend, you'll be missed. To your family and other friends I wish the best. I'm sorry I got here so late but I just found out.

My Aunt and Uncle lived next door to Gary's home in Freeport. My brother and I spent summers visiting them as young children up through high school. Last time I saw your dad was in 1983 in Harlingen, Texas. I have wonderful memories of him. I am so very sorry for your loss. Gary was a wonderful person who was loved by many. May God bless and provide comfort as needed. Judy Silver Bezek
