To Gary's entire loving family. I rented from Gary on Union Street. Never have I met a more loving family than the Peros. Chris, Cara, Gina, Vicky, there was no one as caring and protective as Gary. You all enriched my life. Sending love to you. So sorry Gary has left us.

I met your father in 1954 at St. Joe's kindergarten. Sr. Angela was our teacher. She always mispronounced his name as "PEERO".
Any stories he may have told you about the nuns or about the brothers you can go to the bank on.
My condolences to you all.
