Dear Delores and family, please know you are all in our prayers. We are sorry to hear of Gary's passing on Friday. I really enjoyed talking to him at Perkin's when I'd visit my Dad (Jerry). I'll miss his little tinfoil pouch he'd open after breakfast. Please take care, we will continue to pray for peace in your minds, souls, and hearts. Love, Dawn
