For the last 12 years I knew Gary. When my Uncle Red introduced me during my first year at Clemson in 2000. I would go to eat with them before or after each home game. Always talked about football or wanting to play golf. Over the years I couldn't make but to one game a year if that, I'm just blessed my future bride was able to meet him last year during the UNC game. That was her first Clemson experience and I'm happy she met one of the best.
The last few years I never brought my golf clubs while I went to the games. My schedule didn't allow me time to play, Gary just said, whatever and I would tell him next year...I'm deeply saddened I won't get to play that round with him. I'm just blessed he always wanted to play a round.
