My husband and I are volunteers at the New York State veterans home. We became fast friends with Gary and he would visit us in the Commissary every time we were there. So shocking to hear of his passing , so sudden, or at least to us! His dear friend , Linda, an Army Veteran, misses him terribly . (Go Army!) How Gary loved to pick on her and she loved it! We only wished we had know of the funeral plans before they took place, we would have been there!! RIP sweet friend, Gary. We miss you so very much..
