I remember being a small boy in the midst of a divorce.  I remember Gary, who would come to be called Kuch, coming over to the house to see my Sister.  He was kind to me.  He was funny, cool and more importantly sincere.  After the divorce he and I became fast friends.  I remember cruising up and down Hawthorne Blvd, me in the back seat, and I come to find out he was the leader of the pack.  Many of his friends asked him on how to better their cars, he would always help out.  I thought of him as my Brother way before he and my Sister got married.  He was my cool role model. Don't get me wrong my real Brother, Wayne, and I were very close...but not so much of a role model and I miss him dearly.  I was a very lucky kid, having two GREAT Brothers!
