I was 8 years old when Gary was killed. I never knew what type of person he was, so I am here today to find those who knew him, and to keep his memory alive.

I have found a few who remembered him from the war and from in AIT Training. I guess he was a great guy to be around and others could always count on him. Hoping to find some people who may have pictures of him.

To all of you out there-
THANK YOU!
