Please enjoy the following poem written by Gary himself
Looking at this card I am longingly
Given to Lonely but in Linda’s honor
The Queens English Rhyme
Wherever in the creator’s realm we shall go
Wherever it may be
Please allow us to continue our love
On our sandy shore by the sea
Let us have starry nights
When the sky is twinkling bright
Then the stars drift to our shady shore
To sparkle in the sun for hours or more
These happy time we shall upon reflect
And I’m sure no one would object
For it is fast approaching four of the clock
And what better way to silently continue
This rhyme with a soothing steaming cup at teatime
But smiling into each other’s face and eyes
And holding on to each other forever…..

Teri, When you think of your dad, remember all of the great time, at the beach, at Kings Dominion, camping in the mountains or just laughing and joking on the couch. Your mom and dad were so awesome and always ready to make things better. They both have changed my life and I am sure they are together again singing the Hawaiian love song to each other as they did in the pool at night.

I was shocked and very much saddened to read (just today) of Gary’s passing. I knew when my Christmas Card to him was returned just now, that it was not good news. Gary was a true gentleman and a friend. He would come to my home in Leesburg and help me set up a Standard Electric master clock system, after he had set up all of my buildings in Northen Virginia with a Standard Electric clock system. His daughter Teri would accompany him to the house at times and we always had a good laugh and a good time between the three of us. He loved my famous “tuna melts” that I would make him for lunch when he spent the entire day at the house trying to get a Master Clock or some of the other Standard Electric clocks to work properly. I never once saw Gary angry or ill-tempered. He was kind, generous and very patient and he loved to laugh. I always wondered how he did it. I will miss him terribly.
