It was sad to hear about the passing of my former health and gym teacher. I have great memories of Mr. Garnick leading us from the Carter School over to the YMHA for gym. He was a great educator that peaked my interest in health and medicine. He will always be part of my youth.

Dear Sheila, Brian, Andrea, Amy and Melissa: One of the saddest messages I have ever received was the telephone call on Friday to tell me Abe had died. He was a dear man, and a good and trusted neighbor of the Clark family for 26 years. We all have such fond memories of him. You are in my prayers and I send my love and sympathy to all of you. Love, JoAnne
