And via my side view mirror... as far as you can see again, it was ALL procession cars/vehicles.

Here's Russ getting out of Gary's car to go in to the wake/luncheon. (a VERY nice affair, by the way)

I couldn't get it all in, but here's some of the cool stuff they had set up at the entrance to the luncheon facility. It was all super planned and professional.

Looks like it was a beautiful funeral. I wish I was there to pay my last respects.

It looks like they put together a first class affair. I wish I could have been there but a death in my family was at the same time. You were first class all the way Gary.

I don't think I could have gone through another funeral after my father died a few months ago, but it's nice to see such a large turnout. What a gorgeous day for a beautiful service. People don't ever grasp the scope of their influence while they're here. Only their family and friends get to witness it after they are gone. I never met Gary, but it's obvious that he was a great person just by these pics and from my few conversations with him. Bad people don't have many friends. I'm sure Gary was pleased to see all that vintage iron rumblin' down the road. Knowing him, he was figuring out how much horsepower was on the road all at once. God speed, Gary. You will be missed, brother.

Yes, deffinetly a big thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Dale,

Thanks for the latest ones. The newspaper articles said 5 - 6 mile procession of cars, that's a lot of love.

Rick.

Hey, no sweat. A special thanks should be extended to Pat for taking some really good ones at the cemetary service. I couldn't get my sh*t together long enough to do it. I was up and down and up and down and spent most of my energy concentrating on not blubbering away. It was rough. There was so much support and respect laid down yesterday that I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

Attached is one of Gary and his best buddy Russ at the Woodward Dream Cruise `02. I'm still struggling with this guy's loss, but will sorta' get over it in time. (I hope!) Sorry about the big pic, but it loses too much if I shrink it down due to it being shot at 9:30pm at night.



Peace be with you Gary, Nikki and everyone that cared.

Dale

Thanks for all the pics for those who couldn't attend! Looked like an amazing service...

Thanks for the pictures! My thoughts have been with him since the news broke, even though I didn't know him, other than from here on the board. Still don't know what to say...

The Challenger sitting there reminds me of a horse waiting for it's master to return.
