I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Gary. He was such an awesome presence when he entered a room. He deeply cared for his children. At this time he is in the hands of our creator who has called Gary to be with him.

Christine, Kelly & Family…I only recently learned of your father’s passing and wanted to offer my condolences to your family. I remember him and your mom and both of you all very fondly from the St. Patrick’s Youth Choir days in Newburgh NY from back in the 1970s. I hope you remember me even though we lost touch long ago. Once again, so very sorry for your family’s loss. May he rest in peace…
