Marzena
I moved to Columbia in 1999 and ever since I can remember I saw Gary hundreds of times, often on the trail I frequent a lot. I always wondered where is he going, does he have family, friends? I always felt inspired by his perseverance, he was there in spite of rain, snow or extreme temperatures, so resilient and determined. He seemed shy and avoided eye contact. I said hi many times, but sensed he wanted to be left alone. Gary, I will miss your quiet presence all over town. Rest In Peace.
