I went to school with Gary, and I was born in Palm Springs. I remember seeing Mrs. Johansen around town, her beautiful silky hair pulled neatly into a bun.
I can remember riding honda 50's with Gary in Palm Springs back when we were about 12, with Heidi Stutz and David Kelly.
My condolonces are with the family.
