Uncle Gary 1945-2008
6/20/2008
Bad news sure seems to travel in packs. First there was the death of my parent's horse, then the storm damage to the farm, then Mike had to put his dog down. Now word came from Memphis that my Uncle Gary had passed away.
Gary was a troubled soul who's live was crippled by severe anxiety disorders. He was found in his rocking chair clutching his guitar. Music was one of the few islands of happiness in his life and whenever we were together it was one of the few levels we could really connect on. I can't say we were close - I don't really think Gary was close with anyone - but it's sad to see a life go so quietly, and so unnoticed.
My dad is already upset about the horse and storm damage to the farm. I hope he isn't taking this news of his brother's death too hard.
