BANGOR - Gary S. Ames, 44, passed away March 10, 2005, in his sleep during the early morning hours. He was born Nov. 17, 1960, in Blytheville, Ark., the son of Edward and Verona (Smith) Ames. Gary attended schools in Germany, Miss., Arizona, and Bangor. An avid baseball fan, he was an all star pitcher/ catcher in little league. Gary very much enjoyed going bass fishing the past few years.
