"I still don't know who the final guy is," he added, "but whoever it is, I just pray that they take good care of [Joan] and give her all the love that she is so deserving of."

When asked if any of the bachelors clearly had a strong connection with Joan during filming, Gary admitted Joan's potential winner was a frequent topic of discussion during the process.
"We were all speculating, and I kept telling everyone, 'Guys, just, today is all we've got! We don't know. You just don't know,'" recalled the 65-year-old retired finance executive from Palm Desert, CA.
"Even though Chock was on the first date in Disneyland, which was like, 'Wow! Oh my god,' you don't know."
Gary revealed that his "closest friends" in The Golden Bachelorette mansion included Chock.
"I connected very well with Chock and quite a few of the guys," Gary gushed.
"It was like a brotherhood; it was like a little fraternity house. It was pretty special in that way."
Gary therefore said he's "so looking forward to" The Golden Bachelorette: The Men Tell All, when he'll be reunited with all of his buddies prior to The Golden Bachelorette finale.
"I miss the guys. We did have a special bond. But I miss spending time with Joan as well, and I wish it could've been more," Gary admitted.
Gary said he had a "special" bond with Joan on the show but luckily they've "become very, very good friends" since he left the show.

Gary was eliminated at the fourth Rose Ceremony of Joan's The Golden Bachelorette season.
"I am disappointed obviously. Joan made me feel like I mattered. That's something I'm usually doing for other people, and she did that for me. So I'll miss her," Gary said in his final words.
"I'll miss each and every one of these men. We have developed quite the relationship with each other, calling each other brothers.' And I am such a better man than I was because of them."
The Golden Bachelorette's next episode is going to feature Joan embarking on hometown dates with Chock, a 60-year-old insurance executive from Wichita, KS; Guy, a 66-year-old ER doctor from Reno, NV; Jordan, a 61-year-old sales manager from Chicago, IL; and Pascal, a 69-year-old salon owner from Paris, France, who has lived in Chicago, IL.
In a preview of the upcoming episode, Joan says she's "excited" to meet her Final 4 bachelors' children and grandchildren.
"I've fallen for this woman," Chock says.
And when asked if he'd get down on one knee for Joan, Guy replies, "Yes!"

"I may leave here alone," Joan laments in a confessional.
While Joan was hopeful to leave The Golden Bachelorette process in love and with a man by her side, she recently told People that she didn't need to walk away from the Final Rose Ceremony with a diamond engagement ring on her left hand.
"I said all along I didn't need to leave engaged," Joan told the magazine, adding how her main goal was to return to Maryland in love and "in a committed relationship" with a special man.
