My heartfelt sympathies to all of you in the loss of a wonderful father, brother, brother in law, and an all around great person. I grew up with Gary and his brother and sister. I lived next door to his sister's husband, Robert Clark, growing up as youngsters on Sylvester St. Bonnie and Gary were dear friends and know they will be and are greatly missed by many. Keep your precious memories of them first and foremost in the difficult times ahead. Diana Verhey (Now living in Switzerland)
