Gary was known for never turning down a motorcycle ride, his infectious laugh, and his steadfast devotion to family and friends.
Gary’s creative flair was evident in paintings displayed at the Miami Museum of Art, in his pen and ink, his sculpting, and his uniquely intriguing designed pieces of upholstered furniture featured in the Architectural Digest.
