I was sorry to hear of Mr. Gentry's passing but not totally surprised that is was close to that of his beloved wife Rose. He was so devoted to her and even though his health had taken a turn for the worse it did not stop him from visiting her daily at Jay Hospital. I was sorry to hear of their daughter's passing as well. My condolences to the family of these very sweet people, whom it was my pleasure to know for a little while. Charley Yawitz, CARES Assessor, Dept of Elder Affairs.
