Wow, I am so sorry to hear of Gary's passing. We grew up together. Gray had a paper route which I took over for him and I remember riding in his 55' ford going to Enterprise. I tried several times to look him up since leaving Redding, but I could not find him. I wish that I had looked harder because it would have been nice to catch up. Now I will just have to miss him!
