I've known Gary since we were freshmen in high school (Fall 1968).We were the Beavis and Butthead of that day. He taught me how to not be afraid of everything. I tried to teach him how to choose his battles.Boy did we ever have some good times. He could make me laugh with one goofy look. And did he ever have a way with the ladies. After one summer of hanging around with him, I was never shy with girls again.After high school Gary kept getting wilder and wilder, and I couldn't follow him down that path. But we remained life long friends, albeit from a distance. Gary had his share of faults, as do we all. But I've had a richer life because of having known him. He made me a better man. So goodbye buddy, I hope I see you in heaven someday. Your old friend, Kim
