I met Gary way back when he
I met Gary way back when he kept his race car in Westwood, in a little garage.. I walked up as he was standing in the middle of his race car’s engine compartment, never forgot that meeting. Then in the mill , him as a boss and me as an inspector, we hit it off again, then as fate would have it we met again at Car Sense, both of us driveling for the store, he was always a great guy and had a sense of humor that I enjoyed, I’ll miss him even though I moved away and only communicated by email, not often but still when we did it brought a smile to my face, R I P my friend, till we meet again ....
Just a message
Rose Marie, I am very sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my prayers.
