The loss of our dear friend, Gary, will leave a big hole in our lives. We first met Gary about the time he retired and moved to his vacation home in West Olive where we became neighbors right across the street. We enjoyed his friendship and wonderful sense of humor for many years. We remained friends when he moved away and then met the delightful Louise. Again we shared friendship as couples. Dan and Gary played a lot of golf together over the years and just loved each other's company. Dan even coaxed Gary into playing golf in later years as long as it was possible. Gary was a man of many accomplishments, but he also had a loving heart. He once had tickets to see The Masters golf tournament but gave them to a friend who was ailing. That is love. We saw it in Gary many, many times. To Louise and his family, may he rest in peace. We send our love and sincere condolences. We were fortunate to have Gary in our lives and will miss him every day. God bless.
