gary, I will never forget your heart and the connection that brothers have. many people do not know the story of how you were able to sense I was in trouble when you walked into the drugstore while it was being robbed when we were kids. even though you asked if everything was alright. you still returned 2 minutes later because you sensed something was not right and put yourself In danger. only someone who cared would have done what you did that day. your brother, ron merker
