    Annie and children, and Mike and Penny, I am so very saddened to learn of the passing of my old and dear friend, Gary. As you know, Gary and I first met in 1958, while in the Navy, at Green Cove Springs, FL. We were instant and forever friends. The world has lost a spark in the passing of this gregarious and engaging man. I shall miss him terribly. I already do. Gary is in my prayers, as are you all. God bless.
