Bev, Katy, and all family, We were SO saddened to hear this news yesterday. Words cannot express what we are feeling for you. Gary really enjoyed working with Bob downstate for several years, and I always found it funny that after meeting each other downstate, that they ended up living so close to each other up here. He will be missed greatly, by everyone who knew him.
