Gary was always very loving when we would meet. Mostly for lunch or a family gathering. He never failed to hug me and made every effort to show his friendliness and concern. He loved to tease me. We first met Gary many years ago when we were visiting his brother-in-law and sister-in-law (who is also Gene’s brother and sister-in-law). Gary and Ginger discovered that we were kind of “stuck” at the motel as they had to work. They came and got us and we spent the day in Austin, Waco and Navasota and had a ball. We will never forget that trip and the fun we had and the various times we have gotten together. Our daughter Robin really enjoyed Gary this past November and was saddened to hear the news. We love you Gary and Ginger. Our prayers and thoughts are for you Ginger.
