Surprised and saddened to find out that Gary is no longer with us. He and I were college roommates for a couple of years at CMU. Always thought he would go back to Buffalo afterward. Remember him talking to Jeffrie in the winter of 1977 when the snow drifts at home were up to the second floor of the house and Jeffrie had to ski to the store to get milk.
God bless this kind and generous family. I will never forget everyone.

I work with his son Jordan, and he´s a first class professional and human being. He and Amy must have done something right!
