My favorite memories of Uncle Gary were traveling to Galveston for vacation and visiting in Dallas. We played a board game, and when I looked away, he took several turns in a row! I also remember that he gave me the first $100 bill that I had ever seen. It was in my Bat Mitzvah card. I couldn’t believe it!
Gary Allen and I were first cousins and were very close, especially in our younger years until he moved to the southern U.S. to pursue a successful career and I left for service in the Air Force. Despite the physical distance between us, we always stayed close and would catch up with each and visit each other at regular intervals. Even during his last year, during the pandemic, we were able to connect thanks to Gabrielle. His absence now, has left a void in my life, but also many fond memories. My life was always better because he was part of it.
