My condolences to the Rich family. I worked with Gary at the smelter for a number of years, he was a good man and a good friend.
He belonged to a fund witch he paid a monthly dues. The fund gives his beneficiary a death benefit. If the executor of his estate will contact me I can give them information to receive the benefit (I am the treasure of the fund).

After Twenty Years, we had many good times on the best of Holidays. We will miss you for the rest of our days. And we are thankful that we had the time with you through...

I have numerous fond memories of our childhood, with Gary, Jane and Carol. we played all kinds of games, "hung out", went fishing, rabbit hunting, leaned to drive together even roller skated in each others basements. In our later teen years we even double dated together.
Although we lost touch after I went in the Army and later married, His name often come up whenever conversation came up about the...
