I am a friend of Jays and talked several times with Gary on the phone. We laughed and laughed some more. He was so cool. I send my heartfelt wishes to your family in feeling the tremendous loss of Gary and Linda.

Dustin, I worked with Gary at Mcdonnell Douglas and would talk to Linda when I visited the Johnstown post office. I am sorry for your tremendous loss. Losing both parents in such a short time is hard for me to fathom. Please know that your father and I spent alot of time working together and sharing conversation about our families. He had a love for you and your mother that always came through during those conversations. I will keep you in my prayers. Sorry I missed the memorial I had a family engagement.
