Susan & Family~ We are so sad for your loss. Gary was a great guy & was always warm & friendly whenever we'd see him. Loved running into him at the Grandkid's games. I mentioned to Laura that I remember playing golf with him back in the day & I didn't mention how he had his way with me in an individual match back then..His memory will live on in all of us. U have our deepest sympathies! Love ~ LAURIE & MARTY
