movie he didn’t watch along-side of his furbabies who accompanied him in his

final moments.

Gary’s best friend was his son. He loved watching Corey play football, baseball

and was extremely proud of him. He was able to see him graduate college,

something he pushed him to do almost from birth. Two weeks prior to his death,

Gary was able to watch Corey graduate with is Doctorate in Education, stating “it

was the proudest moment of his life.”

Gary will be missed by many which include his very close friends from Ashley and

Nanticoke PA that had grown up and stayed in contact after all these years. Those

friendships meant so very much to Gary, mentioning a few and missing even one

would upset him, but the guys all know who they are.

John Moore, nieces Christina Moore and Diane Grayson, great nephews Michael

Shyner and Corey Knox III.
