Richard Carl Gary

9/29/62 or 63 we lived across the street from each other ,on Neddick st, "I believe" off Garden rd. In Poway we were best friends for the next 20yr's or so .as young teenage
see .we played songs like Magie and smoke on the water,and johnny cash ,Richie was the youngest of three bothers , Johnny & Jackie they both played ,we all played , sorry our lives went in different directions , but never any further than 20 or so miles from one another ,"I Valley Center" you I could only assume Poway ,man I remember playing spin the bottle with junior high girls Richie would talk into playing .to debating about the benefits of a bench seat or buckets in our trucks so the girls could sit in the perfect spot rite next to the driver, one foot in the driver's well the other in that passenger well , 4speeds only in those days , what fun , l had a thought about looking you up to say high to a very old friend

The Love of Christ exuded from Rich. I was obviously impressed with his musical talents and Resume, but there are a lot of talented folks. It is the Love of Christ through Rich that I will remember, and I am looking forward to telling him that when we hug again. Praise the Lord!
I am sorry for the loss the family and friends have suffered, but I got to say, Rejoice!
BCNU Rich. (I'll be seeing you Rich).
"God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." Only his carnal body has died, Rich is still living thanks to Christ's death in the place of all believers. So we are only separated for a time.

The first time I heard Richie sing I was blown away by his beautfiul voice, the only thing more beautiful was his loving attitude. I love you Richie, I look forward to singing praises with you once again soon and very soon. Hugs and tears from your brother scott ..

We had just moved to Escondido and we were invited to a big potluck family gathering for dinner, my friend Josh Olsen, the host said you gotta meet this guy. After he introduced me to Richie we all began to talk about how God remembers us and put our names in His book of remembrance. In Malachi it says;

Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another,
​​And the LORD listened and heard them;
​​So a book of remembrance was written before Him
​​For those who fear the LORD
​​And who meditate on His name.
​“They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts,
​​“On the day that I make them My jewels.

So Richie, Josh and I were talking about the Lord and how great He is and saying "We're in the Book, We're in the Book"!
I knew that day my family was in the right place.
