To the Hardke family, I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Gary's passing. He was such a caring and kind man. I always enjoyed our conversations when he would come back to Michigan for class reunions. He always had that sparkle in his eyes with a warm smile. I loved seeing the occasional pics of the grandchildren on Facebook. Gary and Greg are now reunited again and, I'm sure, telling stories and reminiscing. May all the love and memories you hold in your hearts, help you through the difficult days. My Deepest Sympathy to you all.
Attached are some photos from a classmate luncheon in 2017 after our 50th class reunion. The photo of Greg, David and Gary was at our 45th, I believe.
