Dear Nancy and Family,
There are no words that I can share with you that will ease your sad hearts. I can simply say the same words spoken by most, I'm so sorry to hear of Gary""s passing.
I really liked Gary, he was such a good friend. We did not see as much of each other after our retirements, but when we did get together for lunch it was always a great time.
Gary and I spent many hours together over the years going to lunch or out for coffee. I remember when we used to go watch the fireworks in Binghamton after the ball games.
whenever we got together we shared a lot of laughs. Gary had the knack of getting others involved in what was going on at our table.
Over the years I learned a lot from Gary and later on realized he was a great mentor to me.
Just last week I thought about calling Gary because we had not spoken in quite a long time. I was shocked when I saw his name in the paper.
During our friendship I had the good fortune of meeting all of you. Gary would always be sure to let me know how everyone was doing. He was so proud of his family. I know from our conversations that you are a close and strong family and that you will be strong together to overcome your sadness to celebrate Gary's life.
I regret that I could not attend the calling hours. I had a previous appointment out of town. Please know however that I am thinking of you and offer my sincerest condolences.
Angelo.
