Gary was a year ahead of me in high school and I didn't really know Gary personally. But here is my memory, on occasion in gym class way back when, our teachers would have us play a game called Bombardment. The class would split into two teams, one on each side of the gym. And there would be two or three volley balls and the idea was to hit a member of the other team with the ball without crossing the centerline in the gym. Once you got hit you were out of the game. I really liked that game except when Gary was on the other side. Gary had an arm like a rocket and if he was aiming at you it was coming like a 100mph missile and it was gonna hurt. No one wanted to get hit by him. I sometimes think about him and this game, one of those dumb high school things that still makes you smile from time to time. I hope you see this Gary. RIP my friend.
