Cindy and Gary, Jr.
I was saddened to see that Gary, Sr. had died. I was one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity to coach on the same field as Gary in the Brigantine Little League. Although we competed on the field we always shared laughs off of the field. Although I did not see him often once you left Brigantine, occasionally our paths crossed and we had fond recollections from our coaching past. God bless you.

"Often known as the Mayor for his gift of gab and ability to make friends wherever he went." If it weren't for this wonderful trait, how would have we become the "polar club" of the Poconos? My heart goes out to you and little Gary. WE love you and think of you always!
Mark, Nancy, Nicole and Salvatore Mancuso
PS: Sal and Nic still have such fond memories of visiting you and Gary in Brigantine. I just thought you should know that Cin!

Cin,
What do you say to someone who has lost the love of their life? Just remember that memories are a gift from God and nobody can take them away from you. I know you and Gary were soulmates and someday your souls will meet again in heaven.
Your heart is heavy right now...but realize what a great blessing you were to each other and to your son. All my love and prayers are with you and your family.
P.S. I know Bob and Gary are enjoying a hot cup of coffee together.
