damn
I just found out that my friend Gary Cox died last week. I haven't seen him in years but since my son started calling himself gary i have been reminiscing about my friend gary from back in the day.
he was a year older than me and the badest kid in the tri-city area.
I couldn't even tell you how many times he pulled my ass out of the fire. There is one time i remember when this latino kid mike had me cornered in the bathroom at knifepoint trying to get me to join his gang and leave gary's. Just then gary walked in and before he knew it, that mike kid had his head slammed into the wall.
Every time i was in trouble, Gary was there to drag me out of the fire... All the way up to highschool.
He was a dealer the last time i saw him. I remember it so clearly now. We laughed about old times and said we should hang out some time. Well i'll never get to do that. i did get to tell how gratefull i was. He died in north carolina where he had been living with his wife and baby. I don't know any more than that.
