Gary was one of my favorite cousins in our large extended family. I remember the many hours all of us spent playing games inside and out of the house. He truly was a sweet person who knew how to enjoy himself. I am very sad he has gone to a more gentle and kinder world. Way to soon. Love you, Gary. RIP. Lynn Kipila Hanson.
