We are so sorry to learn of Gary's passing. Alan remembers him fondly from their days together on Mimosa Drive. He figured predominantly in an idyllic childhood and group of best friends. Stylish in his long black coat and "longish" hair, he cut an impressive figure among his peers. He made friends readily, and was always easy going with an endearing smile on his face. Charlotte and family are hearts are with you at this difficult time. You have lost a beloved patriarch, and we a dear and treasured friend.

I was I the same grade as Gary when we lived on Mimosa Drive together from sixth grade through twelfth. He was a great friend and neighbor. I have lots of great memories growing up with him back then, I'm sure he continued to be a great guy after High School. God bless you Gary, I wish our paths had crossed again later in our lives. Thanks for being you! David Gray - now living in Concord Township, Ohio

Our families spent wonderful times together, camping with the Scouts, gathering at the local pool club, having parties together and sharing many life cycles together. Gary was a true mensch and will be long remembered for his friendliness, kindness and humor. We feel the Friedberg families sorrow in his passing, but Gary will always remain dear to our hearts.

Growing up Gary was like a father, and someone I always looked up to and admired. He was a friend who always made those around him happy to be near. I will remember him most for his smile, his laugh, and his kindness. He will be missed and remembered dearly.
