I met Gary when I first joined Nutmeg AHC, late 90's. Because of him I then became club recording secretary :) In 2006 I got my first show afghan & being new to showing, had to learn fast. I always asked him to help me show her & he would tell me 'you can do it'. Well it took 6 yrs to finish her championship but I did it mostly by myself. I moved away from New England 3 yrs ago & he is the one I truly miss the most. Heaven is a better place now that he is there. Rest in Peace my friend, you are missed.
Gary was always quick with the zingers! Will sorely miss that sharp wit and sarcastic humor. RIP my friend!
