Shocked and sad almost begins to describe how I feel. More accurately it feels like I've just been kicked in the stomach.

Gary was one of the finest individuals I have ever met, a friend and confidant and the loss runs deep. His name is on my resume as a personal reference, that is how strongly I felt about the man.

I live 15 minutes away from Gary's place.
Wish I had gone to visit more often

Thoughts and prayers go out to Nicki and his family.
