Dear Jane and Family:
I was so saddened to hear of Gary's death. I know he had many friends and his loss will be felt by all of us.
There was a time when I was an eigth grader moving to Winchester from Ridgeville. I will never forget coming to the large Winchester gym and seeing Gary play basketball for the first time. I went straight home and tried to play in my back yard the way he had played that day. I will always remember how big and strong Gary was. He...

Mrs. Drill, sons and families - Gary was the first principal to hire me when I began teaching at age 40. I taught during someone's leave and Gary changed a teaching assignment so that he could offer me a full time position the next fall. Although I didn't teach long at NHS due to a long commute, I very much enjoyed working with him and seeing him for several years after that at show choir competitions. He demonstrated sincere caring for his students and staff and I feel honored to have known...
