My favorite two memories of Gary are playing zombies with him,the conversations over countless hours. Staying up way too late. My other favorite memory was getting to meet he and his wife in murtyle beach at one of my gigs. Drinking some beer talking about playing xbox when we got home. I was shocked when I found out from the guys we played online with. You will be missed but always remembered. Rip bulldog
