I will remember Gary not just for all the ice cream he ate but for the time we raced our cars out of the parking lot at work to see who had the fastest car. Prayers to all his family and friends.

Im so incredibly sad to hear of Gary's passing. He was absolutely an amazing person. Once when we were working overtime late he put a hole in a balloon on my desk, sucked the helium out and sang the Alvin and a Chimpmunk Christmas song. Hearing his high pitch I JUST WANT A HOOLA HOOP instantaly perked us up and put us in tears laughing. He will be greatly missed!
