Deb and Family,
I just recently found out of Gary passing. Please accept my deepest condolences for Gary. Gary and I were born only 5 days apart and grew up together. I have many pleasant memories of Gary playing baseball and football together. Gary was excellent at both. I am blessed to have been a friend of Gary as we were both growing up. Please accept condolences from my Father also as our families are friends always. (Ben and Bob Bendele) ([email protected]) (Lima, Ohio)
