Was sad to hear of Gary's passing. I was impressed how he kept working for the rights of others, continuing his education and involvement with social causes many ryears after 'retirement'. Interesting your choice of Memorial, the Michigan Right to Life. Debi and and were the Minnesota Knights of Columbus State Pro-Life Co-Chairs for the last 2 years and have been active in the Pro-Life effort for 20 years. The Respect Life gene must be strong in our family. We will have a mass said and donate. I remember when my folks died, Aunt Floriene and Uncle Bill, and my sister Nancy, Gary had many mass remembrances said, he deserves some as well. Andy Pat
