I will always remember Gary as MAN among men. We first met at the Mopar Nats (2000 I think) when we had posted here at the site about a get together there. It was decided to meet at Carls pit spot. Thru out the day we met several from the board and had a great time we decided to have a cook out in Sept at Norwalk for those that were coming to the Chrysler Classic. We decided to use Gary's pit as the meeting place( I got volunteered by Gary to cook as long as I didnt burn the hotdogs
). Members stopped by and we had a nice cookout Gary had brought the grill and we all brought a dish the company was as great as the food we all shared. Gary opened his spot like he opened his heart we had such a great time and I can remember it like yesterday I cant remember alot of the members that stoppped by I remember a couple. The following year we did it again and another great get together at Gary's pit I remember Steff and Prostock for sure. That was the last time I got to see Gary in person but he will forever be with me. He was a great friend a true helper and it was nothing for him to go that extra for anyone. It has been very hard to come back to the site to read all these posts on such a grat guy but I see he has touched the hearts of so many as he did mine. I pray for his family and for all his friends because it is just such a tragic event that we all are going to need time to heal. Gary peace my friend you are gone from us but YOU will NEVER be forgotten my friend. Joanne
