Gary was a Greensboro local checker player who usually attended our group gathering at Bojangles or McDonalds and local tournaments until his health prohibited him from attending. He also was one of the 10 who we gave a copy of The Little Giant Encyclopedia of Checker Puzzles as a Christmas present to new members.

Memorials may be made in Gary's memory to the charity of the donor's choice.
