Gary was in my class at Drew University. We shared many memories there. He provided many helpful suggestions for my dissertation. Hope he saw me graduate from Heaven. Gary was a true friend.

Fay and Jamie ~

So very sorry to hear of Gary's passing. We recently received a beautiful card from him during a loss in our own family. I have fond memories of Gary from high school and from bumping into him from time to time when he was back in Norwood. No more suffering for him; only Eternal Peace.

God Bless you all,
Betty Marsh
