Dear Karen,Gail,Avner, Michael, Eileen,Eleanor, Ernie and family,
I just saw something on Facebook and figured out that you lost Gary in April. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I haven't seen Gary in years, but caught a glimpse of his illness and his incredible sense of humor from my occasional look on Facebook. Gary and all of you have a really special place in my heart. I often think about the crazy and fun times we had growing up together in Levittown. My sincerest condolences. Love, Marjorie

I spoke with Gary every 2-3 weeks. He spoke so lovingly of his wife, son and daughter; he was so proud of his kids and his wife too. I enjoyed our conversations and looked forward to them every few weeks. He had quite the sense of humor. I will miss talking with him and laughing. Hope his pets are doing well. I will miss him but know he was happy with his choices. I am so sorry Karen, and hope you know that not a conversation ended without him expressing how much he LOVES you. Thoughts and Prayers with you all. Gary will be incredibly missed by all that knew him.
God Bless,
Karen Johnson, RN (case manager)
