    I met Gary at a class way back in 1976. Instantly was aware of his high intelligence and life curiosity. We became friends...I introduced him to his wife Shirley. He was not only one of the most talented people I knew, but one of the finest men I ever met. Heaven is lucky to have you.

    Uncle Gary, you'll be missed. I keep hearing your voice- they way you would bellow out the name of whoever you saw in greeting. You lit up a room and had a way of making everyone feel special. Tara
