I’ll always remember Uncle Gary’s deep love not just for his family, but also for tennis, golf, mahjong, poker, and cars. The first time I ever rode in a Corvette was with Uncle Gary. It was probably the only time I rode in a Corvette.
But my favorite memory of Uncle Gary is one that many may not know. Years ago, we were talking about photos, and I mentioned how expensive it was to print 8x10 headshots and promo pictures for my work. Without hesitation, he offered to help: “Just send me the files,” he said. “I can print them for you for free.” And he did. He was able to work some Kodak magic. Uncle Gary became my go-to photo supplier, saving me time and money, but more importantly, showing his quiet generosity and support for my career.
Though everything has moved digital in recent years, I’ll always remember that gesture and how much it meant to me. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
