Tributes & Memories
So many of us from Broken Arrow are fortunate to have grown up together and to have stayed in touch over the years. And throughout the years many of us have become close friends. I'm proud to call Gary one of my best of friends. We shared so much together, including our love of music and cars, and occasionally a good whiskey. There wasn't anything (not one thing!) that I could ask him about cars that he didn't know. He knew a lot about so many things; I've never quit learning from him. We shared many good laughs and many memories, and I'll miss him forever. It's inspiring to know though that he'll always live on through the influences he had on his friends and family and wife.

My dad always had time for me and made me feel so very loved and wanted. I always cherished the times we spent just palling around together especially out riding our bicycles or working on one of our old cars. We also shared a great love of music of all kinds and I am endlessly grateful to him for his support in all of my life. I love you dad, I miss you.

Jim McDaniel Too many good memories to pick one. Just a good guy and friend for so very many years. Although we hadn’t kept in touch for awhile it was always good to talk to him. Gary had a great sense of humor especially when talking about old times. And there were LOTS of good times. Rest easy friend. I’ll see you again one day.
