Gail worked with my grandfather, many years ago, at the Bender Funeral Home, in Gail's hometown of Lenox. I remember him paying respect to Grandpa when he passed away, back in `81. My grandparents had nothing but good things to say about Gail.

Jeannette and family we are sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts are with all of you during this time of difficulty.

Know Gail will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
