Gail and family, you may not remember us, but we're Jim and Janice Hayes' niece and nephew. We remember camping with you at Lake Moreau many years ago, as well as a few family functions hosted by Uncle Jim and Aunt Janice over the years. We are so sorry to hear of Gary's passing and hope that you will all take comfort in knowing his pain and suffering are over. May your many memories of happier days sustain you during this undoubtedly sad time.

I have a picture in my mind of Gary in short pants in our Sunday school class photo. Aged maybe four or five, and cute as could be. Lots of the girls thought he was wonderful then, and, it turns out, he was. Another member of the Class of '59, WHS
