Gary was the #1 fan of our Notre Dame Academy Golf team and will be truly missed. He was a kind and selfless man who was always there to support every girl on the team especially his beloved Hannah. But if one of our golfers did not have a family member supporting her at a tournament Gary would stay with her not wanting her to be alone. I will always cherish my friendship with Gary and as promised will be there for Hannah. Rest in peace my friend and thank you for all you have done for us.
