I can't believe it took me this long to find out about Gary's passing. I considered Gary a great person and friend until my job moved me far away. Always had the utmost respect for him and Betty. I send my deepest condolences to Betty and the family, and even finding out this late, I shed a tear.

You were one of my favorite patients that quickly became my friend! You made me laugh, I so enjoyed talking to you and Betty ( sometimes you were a comedy team that always brightened my day). You shared family pictures with me and stories about grandkids. I will never forget you my friend and ill keep in touch with Betty! You will truly be missed!
