Just yesterday, I got my yearbook out from high school, turning pages, reflecting on old friends and wondering what may have they done since. The first person I decided to look up, was Gary. We had such fun during childhood in school, I have flashbacks of particular moments as I type this out.

How very sad to find his obituary.

To his family, and friends alike, I am sorry for your great loss. I smile at the memories, and sad to known the lord had taken him. I long lost contact with most after a move to California, but never forgot the good ones; Gary was a good fellow. I am grateful to have known him.

My sincere sympathies to each. God Bless.
