Thanks for sharing.

And thanks to all who made the trip, who held the banner for the rest of us.

Thanks, Mike. I had intended to post my recollections last night. But, like you, I wrote and unwrote it a few times, and then ran out of time completely. Thanks for posting it, and allowing me to add to it. It felt really strange to be taking pictures at a funeral, too. But, I brought the camera so that those who couldn't be there could get an idea what it was like. With their support and thanks, I am glad I did (and I am even more glad that I was not the only one, 'cuz I would have missed too much).

Thanks! The family is in my prayers.

i might be going out on a limb here. i think the man was loved because of his careing for others. the rest of it was just iceing on the cake for all concerned. thanks for shareing the story.

Rest In Peace Gary Davis.

Thank you for sharing that with us Mike.

RIP UN

Thanks for posting this guys..

Great description Mike. One of the most emotional days I've ever gone through in my 34 years on this earth.

Great writing, guys.

My racing stories pale in comparison to the accounts I've read on here. Being there, I can honestly say that you described the day perfectly.

Thank you...I can barely read the screen through the tears.

Thanks mike.nicely done.

Very well done Mike.I too felt it was an honor to be able to attend the funeral and pay my respects to such a great guy.I saw something yesterday during the procession that you probably didn't get a chance to see or hear.I was 2 cars behind you,and had the top down on the Challenger.As we turned into the graveyard,there were 3 motorcycle cops sitting just inside the gate.As you made the turn in,one officer jumped up and pointed to your car....and with a big smile on his face said to his 2 buddies.."MAN! Coop woulda loved that one!!" I'm glad I got to meet you,maybe we'll meet again in happier times.

Thanks for the description..I bet Gary would have never imagined what the loss of him has done to the Moparts family....Wish I could have met him.

that was a truly beautiful description. i felt as if i were actually there. thank you very much. it means a lot to us who couldn't attend. i can only imagine the awesome site of such a thing. without a doubt i'm sure he was proud looking down upon that. i'm sure that beautiful steed of his will miss him, and i know we will...

I too must thank you guys for the description of the funeral. It gave me a sense of being there in some way. Although I don't say much on these boards, I have been here since 2001 under another username. Even though I didn't know Gary personally, this has been real hard on me for some reason. I have thought about him and his family ever since I read that first post on May 13th. And I always will. He will not be forgotten. RIP Un.

Mike, thanks very much for describing Gary's funeral for us. I STILL can't hold the tears back. I just don't know what to say......I guess that says it all................
