We met Gary & Cam in 1997 in Biloxi, MS.in a RV park and we have been friends ever since. We are also from Wisconsin and at that time were retired in Waupaca, WI. Currently, we are living in Florida. We always enjoyed being together and going a a few casino runs with them. We were welcomed in their home many times and have spent a few days there in Brookfield this past summer. He gave us a "nickname" Jave & Denny and we have the cute little wooden plaque in our office he made for us. We will miss him but never forget him....

Cousin Gary and I grew up in the same duplex in St. Paul, so he was like another brother. Later, they moved to Richfield, MN, where we would stand at the end of the runway and watch the Navy Corsair fighter planes take off. That may have contributed to both our later decisions to join the Navy. Our cabin was next door to their lake home at pristine Little Rabbit Lake in Riverton, MN. The last time Gary visited Minnesota, he told me he would really like to go back to fish Little Rabbit. I think his spirit will spend some time there. Catch a nice fat walleye, Gee.
