Not sure what to say?

As preparations are being made for our 30th high school reunion (Rockville, Conn., 1976), I just learned today of Gary's death looking through the class roster. I was shocked to hear this news. I will always have great memories of Gary -- and my prayers are with him and his family.

Gary was my mentor, but moreso my friend. I moved to SF eager for new opportunities and he took me under his wing, made me feel a part of his family and taught more more than just the world of finance. I had looked forward to the day when I could return to SF, give Gary a call and go out fly fishing, this time actaully knowing how to fly fish.....I learned more from Gary in that one year than everyone else I've worked with since.

Thank you Gary, Odette, Katie and Mikey for...

A Letter of Farewell to Gary, my best friend's son... missed by myself and so many who loved you.

I have watched you grow from a small child to an exceptional man, husband and father. As a "middle child" you were, to quote my daughter Debe, "the best part of the sandwich." It was so much fun to see you and Katie and Mikey at your Mother's 70th birthday party. In spite of the blackout in New York City, you made it to Vernon. We watched the joy in your Mother's face when she saw...

Gary's loved ones:

Sorry to hear of Gary's death. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Friends and Family of Gary,



I’ve just learned of your great loss. I knew Gary through industry events and I even had the pleasure of working with him for a few days in NYC two years ago when I was working at Yodlee.



Gary had such a great energy about him. He absolutely LOVED what he did all day. Being around him it was impossible not to be drawn to him – he was contagious in the best kind of way. Not only was he an accomplished expert...

I have known Gary for the entire life span of my memory. We grew up together,and celebrated all that life offered over the years. We enjoyed each other's families, and always found long quiet times to sit and talk... regardless of how much time passed between seeing each other. I felt great honor speaking at Gary's memorial service, but even a greater honor having Gary in my life.

I am sorry to hear of your recent loss. I went to college with Gary at the University of Hartford. Although we had loss touch over the years I was stunned to read of his passing. He was a friend that I will always remember.

My sympathy to his family.

Edna and family,
Words can't express how sorry We are that this has happened to all of you. Edna, please gain strenth in the love and caring of your friends in Fl. We were all shocked at the terrible news of Gary's passing. We love you, Shirl, Carol and Nancy

We were so happy we saw you this past summer (July) when we had the family reunion here at our home. We have movies of your lovely wife, Gina, and your children, Katie and Michael which we are sending to them with your Dad and brother. We will miss you but will always remember you as the little boy with red hair and a happy smile.
Aunt Eileen & Uncle Val
