Mom, (Bonnie R. Bolton, 96,) and I were scanning the web for things about the Riddles and were surprised and saddened to see that Gary has passed on. Nadine, we have always been so grateful for the relationship you and Gary had with Doug Bolton and Mom, (Bonnie.) He truly showed what family was all about, and was a wonderful cousin.
We're sure it's still so hard to say good bye. He was a wonderful man.
Love to you all!
