I’m so sorry to hear about Gary’s passing. We had a great conversation about a month ago. He knew he would be passing soon but he was not afraid. He said he knew where he was going and he was at peace. That was the most beautiful and spiritual thing I had ever heard. We also discussed which place had the best milkshakes! He will be missed.
