Gardner will be so missed by all of us who have known him as a great person and neighbor in Belmont. We all enjoyed his drive by to stop and say hello or walk down to visit and catch up. He was a fine man with incredible values and terrfic sense of humor and truly one of the "greatest generation.' We are heartbroken that he is no longer with us.
