Dear Gary - I just found your obituary online and I'm truly saddened. I've been trying to connect with folks who were important in my teenage years. You and the other guys & gals at IPD were that for me and the others in the first IPD Explorer Post 651 Academy Class, way back in 1972. Peace, to you and your family, my friend.

Gary - I just found your obituary online and I'm truly saddened. I've been trying to connect with those who were important to me in my teenage years. You and the other guys at the IPD were that as you mentored the first class of IPD Explorer Post 651, way back in 1972. I'm sure the Lord is holding you gently & securely. Peace, my friend.
