To Gary's family, I send you all my sympathy, the first few years of my life, i lived across the street from the Ethingtons, there was never a time when i didnt know Gary.
To his siblings- there is no grief like loosing a brother. It is different kind of grief than any other, like loosing a little part of yourself. Because you have the same memories, almost the same life, till one by one you leave the nest. I pray for you comfort, when sadness is so heavy you dont feel like you can bear it. When you are happy, but then feel guilty, because some how you don't feel you should ever be happy again. GOD bless you all.
RIP to a wonderful man it’s been many years since I’ve seen you but I’ll never forget that smile and the way you made everyone laugh!!
