Mr. Gatti was a former neighbor of mine. We lived a couple doors away from each other on Lamberton Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland. I knew him when I was very young and living with my parents. I remember he was always friendly towards me and a heck of a nice guy. His son, Greg, and I used to lift weights. Mr. Gatti, R.I.P. Andrew
