SO VERY SORRY to hear about Gary. Our Deepest Condolences. Gary was always very pleasant to be around, and I am proud to call him my classmate. I'll remember him that way and enjoyed seeing him at all our class reunions. It was nice to see and meet who he married and will miss him in this world. Our many prayers for all of you. God Bless and Deepest Sympathy. Rita Beth Rohrich and Brenda and Bradley
