Sorry to learn of your passing. We were classmates at Wells grade school, and then later at Clay City Community H.S. In high school, I recall when Harry and Garry played left and right guard on the basket ball team. When the game raced from one court to the other, it was hilarious to watch the opponents who hoped they were covering the correct player. Trevor Pearce played center. You three were a force to recon with in a competitive game.

We are so sorry to hear about Garry. I always enjoyed the chats he and I would have over the fence. My girls were just telling me about the flowers he would pick and bring to them while they were playing outside. Please know we are always available if you need anything... Praying.
Love, Doug and Cindy Barrow
