Gary and I always connected. Didn’t always agree, but our connection endured. He was great at his work, but more important, he was a great person. I could trust him with my greatest struggle, and he helped me through many. We went through some hard times, and laughed through them. His loyalty to do the right thing, and his sense of humor was valued by me and many others.
My memories with Gary surpass the sadness and force me to smile, with perhaps a wet eye. I will miss you sir, but I will not forget you. You knew right from wrong, and as a good cop does, you knew when compassion was what was needed.
Rest easy, and I hope to see you at a roll call and an operational briefing in the future.
