I met Mr.Gaughan once, I knew of him through his daughter Anne. It's heart breaking to lose a parent. I have been best friends with his daughter Anne Martin since Jr. High School and am the God-Mother to Jennifer, his grand-daughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with Anne and her family at this time. R.I.P.
