Some of you may remember Gary from the Mansfield Johney Appleseed Show.
He took up a whole corner, looked like a hole craft store, Gary was always on the side handing out carvings to kids and knives to carvers.
He was a very happy and personable fellow and I will miss his smile and talent.

Thanks for reading this,
Doug

Doug,
I didn't know Gary, but he definitely sounds like the kind of guy it would be an honor to know. Sorry for the loss of your friend and fellow carver.

Hey Doug,

Sorry to hear this. Definitely too young to go. He's probably got his carving shop all set up in Heaven as I type this.
