It is the good neighbors that are missed when they are no longer there. And without exception Gary was our good neighbor for many years as we lived side by side. Although Gary was an avid fisherman he did not eat what he caught. Before going fishing he would inform Norman from over his fence that he was going to bring back some fish for us to eat. And he did more than once, providing us with large delicious trout for our main course. From the beginning of Gary's departure from earth we are missing him being at home with his wife Pam and his lap pal Casey. Our hearts are with his family. Love, Norman and Julene
