I only just found out about Gary's passing. I met Gary and his crew when they happened to stumble across the chicken BBQ our fire department did at Kiskatom FD in Catskill NY. That was 15 years or so years ago. Then, every year, Nasty..as we all knew him...would organize a motorcycle ride from Syracuse to Catskill on the day of our BBQ and he has done that EVERY year in Sept. Until last year. I had chatted with him and he told me things weren't good. I am so sorry to hear of his passing but I am so blessed I got to meet him . One can tell when someone has a big heart and that was Def Gary. Sending lots of love and sympathies to all who knew him. Carry on his legacy as you know he would want it. ❣️

I only knew him for a few years but he was definitely one of a kind. Thanks for the rides; thanks for your help with Ellie when I needed it. I’ll think of you when I wear my Harley pajamas

Gary was my cousin, my neighbor and friend. He always had my back. We need more people in this world like Gary.

I just got a phone call Gary and I heard you were gone. You were a good man and a loyal friend. We had a lot of good times. I will always remember those hot summer nights running with the devil on our Harley’s, our pipes setting off car alarms as we tore through the Armory. No one could ride like you, hanging wheelies in front of the Dinosaur, shifting with your heel. And what a great friend you were. I feared no man when you were standing next to me. I could never figure out how you could ride up next to me on my Fatboy, and turn off my gas without me seeing you. I remember us doing 125 in your Corvette Stingray, and then you joking that I left my handprints in the dashboard. No one could drive like you. You had a left jab like a freight train. You had a heart of gold and I looked up to you like a brother. We had a lot of laughs on Lafayette Road, and I loved your Mother and Father. Somehow the world just won’t be the same without you in it. On a hot July night, I’ll listen for your LowRider racing down a country road. “And Death shall have no Dominion. Though we sink through the sea, we shall rise again. We will have stars at elbow and foot.” Rest in Peace Gary, and God Bless you. -OutLaw

Chicken BBQ rides to Kiskatom Fire Dept are some of the best memories I have. Sometimes up to 20 bikes, sometimes just four, would be riding thru the Catskills of NY w/a stop at Cannonsville Res. Always the 3rd Sun in Sept. I’ll miss those days & you. RIP Gary. I’ll make sure when I stop for an ice cream, I’ll be thinking of you. ❤️❤️. Love Stephanie
