I have known Gary since elementary school. We played little league baseball at Liberty Park when we were maybe 10-12 years old- summer league. Gary was a pitcher and very hard to hit because he was tall for his age and left handed. A good man all around. As with most of our class, I have not seen him since High School. Sleep in peace my good friend. Will probably see you sooner than I think. Dennis Gladwell

I too have great memories of Gary when we were kids. He was the tallest kid at Lorin Farr and Mrs. Clark called him a "bean pole", a phrase I have often used to refer to tall people I have known throughout my life which always made me think of Gary. That is a reminder that people don't really leave this earth since they live on in our hearts and minds. Like Denny, I spent many days playing ball at Liberty park, and around 1955 I moved a block or two from Gary's house on Tyler, which made him my first stop when trying to find guys to go to the park with me. I spent a lot of time at his house during these years and remember his mom always welcomed me warmly. I am very glad to have known Gary.

Gary and I alternated pitching at Central. I remember him well. RIP, Gary.Douglas Cannon
Gary and I were early childhood friends. We spent a lot of time at each other's homes and even more time playing baseball together with Little League at Liberty Park and later on Central's baseball team. We also went golfing a few times. He was a good down-to-earth guy. I cherish the memories I had with him. Love ya, man.
