Garry and his family lived just down the street from us when I was in high school, and I never knew anything but friendliness and kindness from him. When Jeanne Laird Mason and I were just learning our way around Carbondale before freshman classes started at Sourhern Illinois University in 1965, here came Garry and his roommate, on their mopeds, to welcome us and take us out to dinner and a movie our first Saturday night in town. My husband, Gary, and I enjoyed a fun evening and long conversation with Garry and Margaret at the FTHS Class of 1965’s 50th reunion three years ago. Sending heartfelt condolences to Margaret, Dennis and your families—so deeply sorry for your great loss.
