I met Gary in 1972, while working at my first job at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Somerset, Ky. After I was hired there, my High School best friend, Debbie Huddleston, was hired soon there after. Debbie & Gary began dating, fell in love, while working at KFC. They were “two peas in a pod”…”joined at the hip”…always together. Such a wonderful couple to admire from day one. Prayers going out to Debbie, The Todd family & their friends.🙏❤️
