To Diane, Gary's family, and all his friends I wish to extend my sympathies. I met Gary in the early 60s when we were in high school. We checked in with each other from time to time just to catch up on what was going on in each other's lives. We recalled good times together with old friends and some sad times too. Sharing and caring is pretty much what we did. Good friends like Gary are a blessing. I'm going to miss him. My prayers are with you Diane and the rest of his family.
