Connie Covington wrote a sympathy message

“Our prayers are with you all as you move through this time. Mr. Gary would come in most Sunday mornings, after having listened to some good old gospel music, saying guess what I heard this morning. He would often add another song to the list of songs for us to practice together. We will miss him and his bass voice greatly in the choir at FBCE. Blessings to you all. Connie and Daryl Covington”
