Rest well Gary and may you ride those streets of gold with the ones that have gone before you. You were a friend to many and you will be missed by so many of us. Condolences Patti and may God continue to be beside you during the days ahead.

We both have known Gary (Thumper) since the mid 90’s, meeting he, Patti and Donna at Gold Wing rallies around the country. I will always remember their Yellow Gold Wing trike with that coffin trailer. Many Saturdays riding the Cherohala and Foothills Parkways. Hope they have banana pudding up there.

What a wonderful friend we've lost in Gary. Patti- You and Gary hold a very special place in our hearts: When we attended our very first rally- we still remember the two of you sitting down with us at Breakfast, giving us your card, and telling us of the many wonderful rides and roads in Tennessee. Even though you had just met us- you treated us like family and even invited us to come up and you're show us where the good rides were. In the years since then, we've had the honor and privilege of becoming true friends. Gary: You'll truly be missed- and Patti: We love you and hope to still see you from time to time!

Gary will be greatly missed. He was one of a kind. We have been blessed to call him a friend. Gary was always fun to be around and had some great stories that only he knew how to embellish with just the right twist to make it go from funny to hilarious. Can't wait to see you again Gary.
