So sorry for your loss
I was so sorry to learn about Gary’s passing. He’d emailed me a couple weeks prior to his death about his surgery. We prayed for him. I learned the news from the Saint Meinrad newsletter. While I know he’s with the Lord, I am also saddened by his death. Gary was a great guy. While both of us took classes together at Saint Meinrad, we developed a friendship. He was funny, thoughtful, and charitable. Mostly he was a good Christian.
