Gary is Gone

"Gary S." is Gone​

I’m sorry to have to bring the news to SMF that Gary S. (East Texas) Has passed away on 8-11-21, after losing his battle with Cancer.
He will be severely missed by his Wife “Bobbie”, and a very close extended family.
I will miss Gary too, as the SMF family will remember him always.
Gary & I have been close Forum Friends for years, and in my book, he made the Best Briskets I’ve ever seen!!

I only met Gary & his Wife Bobbie one time, Summer before last, when they stopped at my house, after visiting with one of his Sons, who was working in Jersey. Gary brought me some Fresh Flounder from Jersey, and I Grilled a pile of Pork Roll, because he had never had "Pork Roll Sammies" before. They loved the Sammies & we had a Great time, in the short time they could stay, before hitting the road back to Texas.

R.I.P. Gary Spriggs

It is always difficult to say goodbye, to find just the right words. Gary, thank you for your many contributions to SMF, you will most certainly be missed, but your memory will live on here in your generous contributions to this site...
