You taught me to play chess, which helped me to make my way through this world. It was an honor to share this planet with you, Uncle Gary. Enjoy your journey forward. "Gate gate para gate para sam gate bodhi swaha!"

I have no words for how deeply you are missed already. I thank you for being an awesome big brother to me. We had many laughs together. You fought a tough battle and in the end you was rewarded with the best reward of all. We will celebrate you and your new birth. Til we are joined together as siblings again, I will love you.
