I can't believe Gary is gone! Growing up together in the early 70s with a bunch of guys from 101 Bowl you get close. Gary was the oldest. I remember him the most bowling together in Friday night pot games, spending all night canasta parties and then crashing on the beach and hanging out at Lee's place and watching Elvira and playing pool and.......
Gary, you will always live in our memories. Thank you for coming into my life and touching it so. You will never be forgotten.

My favorite memory is when I was coaching a softball team and Gary was umpiring the plate. I was new to coaching and this was one of our 1st games. We had Brandon, age 5, in the dugout and some extra coaches (Dennis Sebenick, Don - my first husband, and a teenager) to help us. Gary wanted to eject me from the game & I said "Please do because I don't know what I am doing." He decided not to throw me out and we somehow finished the game.
