Today, I seen where Gary passed away. I would have attended his funeral had I known last week. I first met him when we worked at Mallorys in the mid-70s. He was always a very nice man to work with.
In the past 15 years or so I would see him and Ricky at Walmart. Gary would always have a huge smile and we would talk for several minutes catching up.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing him when I go to the SR26 Walmart.
Sincerely,
Nanci
Thanks Nanci, Randy
