Shocked when I learned of Gary' passing. I immediately thought about how much baseball we played together which led to a memory of an All Star trip to Trinidad and some of the shenanigans he somehow managed to never get blamed for! The other memory is of his uncanny detailed recall of the games we played. The situation, how many on base, what the count was, who was pitching, where the ball was hit. Just crazy.
To you Doreen, here is a bundle of prayers. RIP Gary!
Thank you Russ...Gary loved baseball, actually all sports He coached his sons and grandkids and they, too, can recall games and plays that would truly amaze. Same thing on the golf course. Thanks for the kind words...means a lot. Doreen
Gary and I had some great laughs when he was in the Pro Shop at HR - he always made a point to mention that I was older than him.... but it was just few days! I still miss seeing him there Doreen.
Doreen, My heart goes out to you. We had some really fun times together - all of us, - you & Gary, Larry & me! My suprise baby shower, playing cards till the wee hours. It was fun being neighbors =o) Plus, I'll never forget Gary letting me drive his mustang! Love and hugs to you!
