I met Gary in 6th grade. by first glance we seemed like polar opposites. He was always into sports wrestling, baseball, football, even golf if you want to call that a sport lol. Always competitive. I on the other hand was usually in the hospital with some crazy broken bone. But we grew up as best friends. Gary and his mom Jewel were my extended family, when he moved to Eugene for college, I would visit with his mom as I knew Gary was her whole world. He would never admit it, but she was his too.
Sadly, Jewel passed away a little over a year before Gary. I kind of think that one couldn't exist without the other. It sort of rocks you when someone that was witness to all of your memories from 12 to 21 is gone. It wasn't all for nothing. I miss you G Dub.
