    Gary was a very kind man. I enjoyed our visits every Sunday evening when he would gas up before heading home to Circle. He enjoyed the conversation and the company in the store. We had an especially good conversation, moments before his passing. He was always smiling, and never in a sour mood. His presence will have left a lasting impression. He will be missed every Sunday evening. Thoughts and prayers.
