I coached Gary at Little Rock Central his senior year he was a great athlete in many sports. In the last three years we have enjoyed many days and night with him and Jeanette. Glad I got to visit him in the hospital last week. Never believed I would be seeing him for the last time. My wife Doris and I have been blessed to have Gary in our lives. Our prayers go out to Gary’s family and Jeanette.
