I became a customer at Gary’s store in 2009 and always ended up talking cars with him for at least 30 minutes every time I went in. More recently Gary had been following along with my car projects and we talked regularly on social media. Such a great person and a terrible loss, I will miss him.

I first met Gary when I started at Air Liquide as driver in 2002. I would deliver to the Rocky store weekly. Gary always had a big smile and was so welcoming and supportive.
