I am so sorry for your profound loss. It is always so difficult when you lose a loved one too soon.
I first met Gary when we were students at Ridgewood Jr. High. The picture you shared of Gary is priceless. I can clearly see the infectious smile from our youth and hear his kind words that endeared him to us. He was well liked because he was such a nice guy to everyone.
Know that he will always be an integral member of our Eastridge Class of 1972 family. We have a custom to pay homage to those we have lost at our reunions. RIP to our friend and classmate.
May you find joy in your now even more treasured memories. May you find comfort in knowing that his life will continue to be celebrated by so many on earth and now in heaven.
