Gary was my mom’s younger brother and my uncle. I am sad to hear of his passing and wish I could be there to support Gordon and his family during this difficult time. I will miss him and send my prayers to his remaining loved ones. Please know that God is there to strengthen your spirits and bring peace to your soul. Much love and with sympathy, Kelley Luckett
