This is for my niece, Stacey, paralyzed from the shoulders down now due to a drunk driver and my brother in law, Garry, killed by a drunk driver.
Garry
Garry was 18 when his life was taken away. He had finally decided he wanted to straighten out his life and finish school. I will never forget the day or the phone call as long as I live. I was engaged to be married to his brother. I had just gotten my phone and had given the number to Garry earlier in the week. Garry wanted me to cut his hair, I was sick and told him later in the week I would do it, I promise. So friday (13th) came the phone rang and it was the police. They were asking questions about Garry and I was like 'whats going on?' They told me he had been in fatal crash and they needed the family to go to the hospital. Out of the 4 guys he was the only one that knew my number and he lived just long enough to tell them to call me. He was pronounced DOS. I never dreamed in a million years that I would be cutting his hair while he laid in a casket. But I made a promise to him and I kept my promise to him even in death. I couldn't have him going to heaven w/o a haircut.
The vehicle, a red Pontiac Grand Am, was going 95 mph in a long curve when it went off the right side of the road, became airborn, broke a sign and telephone pole in half, rolled several times and came to a rest in a plowed field 200 ft away from where it went off the road. 2 of the 4 people in the car was ejected, 1 was trapped in the car, and Garry was 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the window where the car eventually ejected him and landed on top of him.
Binegar's blood alcohol level tested .173 the night of the crash. A .1 percent was legally considered to drunk to drive in 1990. He was sentenced 2-10 years in prison and his license was revoked for life. I believe he only served 2 years for this I know it wasn't a very long time.
I am sure Garry would much rather be here watching all his nieces and nephews and great niece and great nephew grow up, but thanks to a poor judgement call he cant be here. Who knows maybe all these years later and thanks to myspace maybe his death will save a life somewhere and with enough myspace pages that shows the devastation and loss we can save the lives or many!
