My memories with Gail & Joe will always be treasured. My late husband,Marty was a classmate of Joe´s at St Michael´s College in Winnoski VT. We et as couples in 1964 & formed an immediate bond of cherished friendship. Gail was always the optimistic planner & through her enthusiastic research we enjoyed making many wonderful memories together. I am a better woman for having had the privilege of being her friend!
My profound sympathy & love to Alison& Laura. Katie Walsh

We have many happy memories of Gail's neighborly friendliness on Osceola Road in Richmond. Gail and Joe welcomed us into their home on many occasions, and we remember their delight over their grandchildren. We were always happy to see them when we arrived for the Tanglewood season. With warmest condolences, Martha Babcock and Harvey Seigel
