A
very loving, compassionate, talented
man departed on his new adventure on
January 17th, 2007. His completely
generous nature has left so much with
those of us whose lives he touched-
and yet I know that I am not the only
one who feels as if an enormously
loved and loving part of myself is now
gone.
I had the great fortune of knowing
Gary for 32 years, from the time I was
15 years old. For many of those years,
he was my roommate, my housemate, my
lover, my boyfriend and my teacher. He
was a little boy and a brave man and a
little monkey, and he had no shame
about any of it.
My friend Gary taught me how to shave,
how to drive and parallel park, how to
skip stones in a river, how to cue up
an LP and tune a guitar - just for
starters.
We went camping & fishing and went
to England and have met famous people
and made stupid mistakes and teased
death together, and I miss him more
than I can ever say. I really, really,
really miss him.
He was, and always will be my best
friend.
But
then, he had that effect on a lot of
people, didn't he.
And
maybe like them, I feel more than
certain that he's going to have to put
up with me and my friendship for all
eternity -
Tho I am one big fan among many, many
fans.
 
Please
enjoy the pics,
and please contact
me if you have images,
stories, memories, etc. you'd like
to share that can be posted here,
and celebrate this wonderful man's
life.
