I am so sorry for your loss. Gary was a wonderful man with such a zest for life. He will be greatly missed. This last year has been such a hard one, but when ever I saw him he tried to be so positive. He always had a warm smile on his face. God must have wanted him to bring his joy back home. It is so hard on us left behind but you are in my prayers, as well as Gary. May God bless you. Anna Mae

Gary and Sheri were "regulars" at the Horshoe. He was always a smiling,friendly and happy guy, even when confined to the wheelchair. Sheri was always right by his side. My sincerest condolence to his family. May he rest in peace.
