Gary was a comical guy. He always cracked jokes when we were all together listening to a band. He always had a smile on his face.
Sending up prayers for the family and friends who knew him.

I worked with Gary at Overstock before he passed.
I am very sorry for your loss and he was a great guy to work with. I couldn’t remember his name but I was thinking about him and that’s why I decided to post this message. God give you strength.
