I am really sorry to hear that Gary has passed away. Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences to all. I met Gary while I worked at the liquor store in Blue Earth. He’d come in once in awhile to buy a 6 pack of beer. I always enjoyed talking with him and hearing stories of his life. He had a warm smile and was always kind and friendly. I will miss seeing him around. 🙁
