    Gary, Oh God, how you will be MISSED by many. I will always remember our conversations on family, Quincy, travel, cars, sports, and politics. I'll never forget the baseball game at Fenway that we almost DIDN'T attend because I lost the tickets in the PT Cruiser. It was the classic..NOW YOU SEE THEM, NOW YOU DON'T...abd I was losing my cool while you and Deb were so calm...we finally found them UNDER the car??? We joined the others from my office and we all watched while the Sox lost to Tampa (of all teams) that night. So many MEMORIES that go back so many years...you will be truly MISSED. Have a GREAT time up there.... Love, Sue

    Gary, My memories of you are all so fun,Knowing you are gone leaves me kind of numb. I had always planned to see you on one of my trips "back home". My memories are of your smiling and kind of a snear look on your face because we were always up to something that was not going to make the parents too happy with us. I belive these were the best days of my life and I am proud to have shared them with you and "The sibs". Dottie, you are special to me and I stand with you to share this loss. I love all of you. Rob&the kids.

    To Dotty and Family, Whenever we would see Gary at family get-togethers he was always light-hearted and fun. He always regarded his aunts and Uncles with respect and displayed a genuine enthusiasm for family. He was a good man and will sorely be missed. Respectfully, Joan & Bob

    My dear son Gary: I cry through my curtain of tears as I remember my life with you in it but can't imagine it without you. We seem reluctant in our lifetimes to express the love we have in our hearts for one another. It is there so deep that it will never fade away.I loved you when you took your first breath and I held you in my arms and I'll love you until I take my last breath here on earth and then into eternity where I will hold you once again. Love, Mother

    Gary used his intellect and education in the best of ways.Sure, he used it's advantages in affording things like 240z's and Shelby Mustangs but more importantly he used his education like a tool that enabled him to live his life how he wanted while still showing respect to others in a way that I sometimes fear is a forgotten art.That is what makes me the proudest of him and that is what I will remember the most about my brother Gary.

    It's been a lot of years, Gary, but some people are just worth remembering, especially "real" people. There was that frosty winter night when you, Dick and I flew up to Laconia in the Cessna for some quick business at a chalet that you fellas had sub-let. On the way back to Norwood, Dick mentioned that the visibility seemed wanting and you reached out the window, scratched the windshield and found it to be covered with ice. The trip back to Laconia was great, making the final approach around Gunstock Mtn. peering through a quarter-sized hole in the ice on the window. On landing, not only were the wings all iced up, but the prop as well. I hadn't had that much 'fun' since I was on the Albacore and we dove into the bottom off Portsmouth during sea trials. And then, there was that Shelby Mustang of yours. I don't believe I've ever seen a Shelby on the road, other than that - some car!! We kept the Boston fishing fleet running, draggers and beam-trawlers alike, with well maintained electonics while we were with Kelvin Hughes on Northern Ave. Well, old friend, keep watching over your loved ones and give them a sign from time to time. I expect I'll be going ice-fishing with Dad some time soon - you're welcome to drop by if you like. In any case, I'll see you on the other side. God Bless! -Russ
