Our condolences to all of your family & friends. I know that Gary’s greatest sorrow was leaving you all, but that his love & assurance of his Father made his transformation something to look forward to.
We were employed with Gary at Bowden Institution. Gary was well loved at work, a ready ear to listen, able to give practical advise when requested, sharing a fun story to ease tensions, all in his own quiet way. His smile was always at the ready. He was incredibly respected & loved at B.I., & is very missed.
Trevor & Tyler, you have also lost a mentor. Remember that there are many who share this void with you.
When I moved into the library, Gary would stop by to check on me, just as you two did. His visits made my day. I enjoyed watching many inmates calling out, “Hey, boss, how you doing,” or some version of that. They showed Gary their respect, too.
May God bless you all.
