Gary Hurd

I'm so saddened to find out that Gary has passed. I wrote a long condolence letter but it didn't send. Trying again.

I'm so saddened to just find out that Gary passed away this past December. I feel badly that I didn't know until today. My daughter and I live down the road. We stopped by many times in the summer to say hello & admire his gardens. My daughter had felt he may have passed away because we haven't seen him outside whenever we'd drive by.

When I was there when my sister died, I so appreciated his visits to the house as I was there alone. He uplifted my day and always brought fresh eggs. I love you Gary and will miss you very much.
