Not sure what to say?

I too have many of the same fond memories growing up on Hill Top Drive. When it snowed and the outside air was calm and quiet everyone waiting patiently to hear the chug of Gary's tractor.

Thoughts and prayers to the family! Growing up Gary always put a smile on my face when he ventured up to see my grandparents!
