    A Home Depot employee who was in the hospital for weeks after being shoved down by a man stealing merchandise has died from his injuries.
    Hillsborough police said Gary Rasor died on Thursday after being assaulted by a man on Oct. 18 at the Hillsborough Home Depot where Gary Rasor was an employee; He was 82 years old at the time of the crime, but celebrated a birthday before his death.
    Gary Rasor was a favorite among customers at the Home Depot, where most knew him as 'Mr. Gary.' "Everyone loves him, he's an outstanding individual," Andy Simmons with Hillsborough police said at the time. "And then somebody does something like this to him just to commit a larceny, it’s absolutely ridiculous."
    His family told WRAL News he was supposed to come home for Christmas and the family was planning on taking a vacation with all the grandchildren.
    His wife Yovonne Rasor was looking forward to spending this holiday with family and the New Year traveling with her husband.
    “I’ve always wanted to go to the Panama Canal so we were going to start planning after the grandkid trip and now we’re not,” said Yovonne Rasor.
    83-year-old Gary Rasor was working at the Home Depot on Hampton Pointe in Hillsborough when a shoplifter shoved him to the concrete floor.
    Surveillance footage shows the thief walking past Gary and pushing him down on his way out the door of the garden center with stolen merchandise on his cart.
    His son said the footage is disturbing.

    Poor man, it's a crazy world we live in with no respect or results. Condolences for his wife and family members.

    Criminals have become so very violent as the consequences for committing crime are rarely seen. It will sadly have to get much worse before it gets better. Society today would rather have this elderly gentleman die, than have any consequences for the criminal.

      The punishments need to be a lot more severe because criminals keep continuing to commit crimes and it needs to stop.

    I see way too many seniors still working. This country should have a better pay for people so they can enjoy their retirement and not be working at that age. This was so tragic and I hope they find that black person and punish him with a long sentance.

      Many seniors get part time jobs in retirement to just keep busy. This guy was planning to fully retire in January.

    Lies! He was actually 83. He was 82 at the time of the assault, but 83 when he died.

    Sounds like he had a blood clot and the doctors missed it.
