Gary and Scott Wright (my first husband were good friends). Gary was the best man at our wedding. When Gary and Scott were both ill; Gary with skin cancer, and Scott with RSD, Gary and his wife Tina came to our home for dinner. We had wonderful time. They shared stories of their youth, and compared notes on painkillers. We laughed.
Several months later, when Scott died unexpectedly, Gary and Tina came right over; they were the first ones there. Gary said, just let him know if I needed anything.
Gary was a great guy with a good heart and a good sense of humor.
I miss you Gary, take good care of Scott.
