My condolences to the family on the passing of my cousin, Gary. His mother was a sister to my mother, Lila Vanderhoof. It was quite coincidental that I discovered Gary had passed.
I remember him as a thoughtfull, energetic, and ambitious young man. I am sure he will be greatly missed by his family.
