The memory of a loving caring parent will never fade-his life was such a gift to you all. It is an honor to be reminded of his life and deeds.

Dear Lynne & Family,
I was so sorry to read about Gary's passing. I remember Gary coming into the law office in Fitchburg when he worked for Pitney Bowes and you worked on the same floor at William Reagan's. I have sent the newspaper clippings to my daughter, Alice, who now lives in N.C. She used to babysit for you. Neither she or my son David knew that Gary was the Townsend Santa on many Christmases. We will keep you and your children in our prayers.
My deepest sympathy, Alice...

That's a life well lived. Well done, Gary, and well done, Lynne.
