So very sorry to hear of your passing Gary. You were such a nice man and you greeted me every day I came into North Country Nursing home with my X-ray machine. I will miss your welcoming smile and our conversations and of course you saying "There´s the Machine"! Rest in peace my good friend and I will make sure to take good care of your friend the machine.
