James Schrock wrote a sympathy message

“Will always remember Gary as my brother-in-law. He loved baseball and the Cardinals. Many years ago we played pitch and catch for hours. He could throw the coolest knuckle ball and was an excellent shortstop for the men’s team he played for. He for sure was the best joke and story teller. Will definitely miss him and the times on the phone. Could tell some good times I had with him and will be remembering him. I pray for the family and wish you all God’s blessings.”
