Just heard. We were good friends in youth. Gary always remained in my personal universe ever since college. I regret he is no longer with his family and that I shall never see him. He would have liked, and I shall, put on my tefillin one time just for him. My sincere thoughts of condolence to his family and close friends.

Corky,
I just heard of Gary's passing. Judi and I send our most sincere condolences to you and your extended family.
I only met Gary at our 50th South Shore Reunion and had a very pleasant discussion with him.
Judi and I are living in Florida now, otherwise we would have definitely paid our respects in person.
